On a Tangent

Tangent

 

Verse 1

 

When a Tri, angle is right//

The hypotenuse is the side opposite the nine-ty//

Degree angle the other angle yet to be defined//

The side closest to it’s adjacent, the other is opposite of what were trying to find//

The Sine is when you divide//

The hypotenuse by the opposite that gives you rise//

On a graph “Y”//

Cosine is so much alike//

“X” on a graph, its just dividing using different sides//

Hypotenuse by adjacent finds it every time//

To evaluate tangent is Sine over CoSine //

If the adjacent is 12 and the opposite is 9//

The tangent is point 75 //

I think Im on a tangent//

 

 

 

Verse 2

 

SOH CAH TO A//

SOH CAH TO A//

SOH CAH TO uuh let me explain//

Cuz these 3 trig functions can drive you insane//

So what is “SOH”?, S stands for Sine//

Which is opposite over hypotenuse or “S” “O” “H” in a line//

“CAH” is CoSine, adjacent over hypotenuse//

Or “C” “A” “H” see where knowing acronyms have gotten you?//

And finally “TOA”//

T stands for tangent, but now we got to dig a little deeper here we go//

Sine over CoSine//

That’s opposite over hypotenuse divided by//

Adjacent over hypotenuse but realize//

According to math principles//

We can multiply by the reciprocal//

And that makes it all a little easier to handle//

Cuz both of our H’s divide out, or cancel//

So after sticking to the basics//

We’ve discovered tangent is opposite over adjacent//

These are the three trigonometry functions//

Now you can use them alone or in conjunction//
