How to Memorize "trigonometric"

1. visualize
   

   - Visualize a right triangle with its angles labeled. Label the sides as well.
   - Practice drawing right triangles and labeling their angles and sides.
   - Use diagrams to help understand the relationships between angles and sides.

2. associate
   

   - Associate sine with the side opposite the angle, cosine with the side adjacent to the angle, and tangent with the side opposite over the side adjacent.
   - Use the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA (Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent) to remember the relationships between the functions.

3. mnemonics
   

   - Use the mnemonic 'Why is Sine So Important?' to remember the formula for sine: Sine is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.
   - Use the mnemonic 'Cosine is Cool' to remember the formula for cosine: Cosine is the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.
   - Use the mnemonic 'Tan is a Tangent' to remember the formula for tangent: Tangent is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
