Is this genuine? Like is the unit circle really fucking you up that bad?
I’m pretty dumb, so I don’t understand this one.
Pythagorean theorem.
Although, don’t solve this or else Pythagoras might throw you off of a boat
Pretty sure this is Pythagorean Identity, theorem is a²+b²=c²
You leave my unit circle alone!
Why?
SOH CAH TOA
Ah, sohcahtoa. Not to be confused with
Thx, this is not helpful, but I will never be able to think of it any other way now
Please elaborate.
Sine of theta is the ratio of the lengths of the Opposite side over the Hypotenuse (SOH). Cosine of theta is Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH). Tangent of theta is Opposite over Adjacent (TOA).
Oh you’re saying opposite site and adjacent site in English
Anyway how is the r=1 circle harmful for that?
Believe this was featured in a paper that recently used trig to prove the Pythagorean theorem (previously thought to be a circular definition). I think some highschoolers cracked it as part of a mathematics challenge or something.
Someone needs to turn this into loss
Took me a minute to notice, but it was worth it
Notice what??
You can use the spoiler tag
No spoiler
Notice what, exactly. I still don’t get it.
Take a look again, it’s still there
I only see the double arrows.
When you look at it for a minute, your phone will dim the screen and in reflection you’ll see the person who has harmed you.
I’ve seen it! The bastard!

Yeah, dividing a circle into 360 parts, then subdividing those by 60, and further subdividing those by 60 makes so much more sense than just using ratio of a number fundamental to circles themselves.
SOH CAH TOA is just a trick to make rote memorization of procedure easier. Understanding the unit circle will let you understand what trigonometry is actually doing.
