SOHCAHTOA FORMULAS

RIGHT TRIANGLE TRIGONOMETRY

SOH: sinθ = opposite ÷ hypotenuse.

CAH: cosθ = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse.

TOA: tanθ = opposite ÷ adjacent.

Use these only for right-angled triangles.

PAGE 4/15

FIND A SIDE

ANGLE AND ONE SIDE GIVEN

To find opposite from hypotenuse, use opposite = hyp × sinθ.

To find adjacent from hypotenuse, use adjacent = hyp × cosθ.

To find hypotenuse, divide by sinθ or cosθ.

Choose the known side carefully before solving.

PAGE 5/15

FIND AN ANGLE

OPPOSITE AND ADJACENT GIVEN

Use tanθ = opposite ÷ adjacent.

Then use θ = tan⁻¹(opposite ÷ adjacent).

Angle answers are shown in degrees.

This page uses degrees, not radians.

HOW TO USE

CHOOSE TARGET • ENTER VALUES • SOLVE

Choose whether to find a side or the angle.

For a side, enter angle θ and the known side length.

For an angle, enter opposite and adjacent.

Press SOLVE or Enter to calculate.

WORKED EXAMPLES

SOHCAHTOA IN ACTION

Opposite: hyp=10, θ=30°, opp=10sin30=5.

Adjacent: hyp=10, θ=30°, adj=10cos30≈8.66.

Hypotenuse: opp=5, θ=30°, hyp=5÷sin30=10.

Angle: opp=5, adj=8.66 gives θ≈30°.
