Using the SOHCAHTOA Trigonometry Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively use the SOHCAHTOA Trigonometry Calculator, helping you compute different trigonometric functions based on the angle and hypotenuse length.

Step 1: Select the Calculation Type

• Begin by choosing the trigonometric function you wish to calculate.
• In the “What do you want to calculate?” dropdown, select one of the following options:
  • Sine (Opposite/Hypotenuse)
  • Cosine (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)
  • Tangent (Opposite/Adjacent)

Step 2: Enter the Angle

• Locate the “Angle (in degrees)” field. Here, input the angle in degrees that you will use.
• Ensure the angle value is between 0 and 360 degrees, and up to two decimal points are allowed (step of 0.01).

Step 3: Input the Hypotenuse Length

• Navigate to the “Hypotenuse Length” field. Enter the length of the hypotenuse.
• This value should be greater than 0.01, with the option to input up to two decimal points (step of 0.01).

Step 4: Calculate the Results

• Once all the necessary fields are filled out, the calculator will use predefined mathematical formulas to compute the results.
• The calculated values will be displayed in the result fields:
  • Opposite Side Length: When calculating sine, this represents the length of the side opposite the angle.
  • Adjacent Side Length: When calculating cosine, this is the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
  • Sine Value (sin): The sine of the entered angle.
  • Cosine Value (cos): The cosine of the entered angle.
  • Tangent Value (tan): The tangent of the entered angle.

Each result is displayed with a precision of up to four decimal places for accuracy.
