How to use the tangent function to find the missing opposite side of a triangle

👉 Learn how to find a missing side length of a right triangle. A right triangle is a triangle that has 90 degrees as one of its angles. The trigonometric identities of right triangles give us the relationship between the angles of a right triangle and the side lengths of the right triangle. These trigonometric identities, commonly called SOHCAHTOA, are: sin x = opposite / hypothenuse; cos x = adjacent / hypothenuse and tan x = opposite / adjacent. These identities enable us to find a missing side length of a right triangle given one of the side lengths and one of the other angles of the right triangle.

“the fact that you don’t even have anything to write down what we’re going over is confusing me”
That’s pretty funny

[JimBrosephxx]

honestly you can explain things perfectly in a matter of minutes, while my professor takes about 2 hours to do one lesson..  I wouldn't be doing this well in college if it wasn't for all your videos, thank you so much.

You did a better job than my maths teacher i literally searched this up while she was doing this thanks fam

[natalieheard]

You make everything seem so easy, I’m playing catch up because we moved across the country and you’re really helping. Thank you!

34-year-old here, just started turning blueprints for parts made on a CNC lathe into G-code for the machines to run. Never had any formal training for any of this and I think I'm in over my head, but if every question I had about the job could be answered as quickly and concisely as this I'm sure I'd be fine. Great work, man.

I never paid attention in school at all this is a lifesaver you deserve a sub

[piercekelly]

It’s 11pm at night and this saved my ass thank you so much

[ashfaqjuna]

Nicely explained in a clear way. I could take maths lessons like that all day long:) thanks

[DEALINGSINGE]

I swear this guy is literally a savior

[yara-xzos]

oh my gosh you just saved me, thank you so much 😭😭

[Magmabot]

is there a video that explains how to get the missing opposite from the hypotenuse and the tangent?

[abibondo]

This video teaches me more than my whole geometry class

[novahdzns]

What if you have the hypotenuse length but not the the 7 in your video?

[ryanlord]

Thanks this really helped! I'm relearning all this after about 10 years out of high school I still remember soh cah toa haha.

[Macheako]

I’m literally doing work right now, 10+ years after taking trigonometry, using these ideas!

Who says school doesn’t teach you anything useful 😂❤

[gentlybylia]

How would I solve this equation if i already have the hyp but not the adj or opp?

[anthonybury]

man summarized in two minutes what my teacher couldn't in fifty what the hell

[quanadrajohnson]

if only you were my algebra 2 teacher. things would be so much more simpler.

[omarhaider]

OMG thanls a lott for this i really needed this.

[thelastmeteor]

You stood right in front of your video when explaining the use of “7”, so I have no idea how you came up with the answer.
