#Suggestions and corrections for my trigonometry chart?

I am studying trigonometry and I was making a chart to understand the relations between the terms, values and elements better.
Can anyone check if it seems right and maybe even suggest improvements?

Also yes I made it in paint, if anyone knows a better digital alternative I'm all ears.

how you go from what to what

slender fractal
#

Yes

rain lark
#

Angle tan gets you tan angle which is O / A

#

no?

slender fractal
#

If you're in a right triangles yes

#

SOHCAHTOA

rain lark
#

oh oops I forgot to mention that

slender fractal
#

Also if your =HYPOTENUSE is supposed to be pythagorean... it's wrong

rain lark
#

why?

slender fractal
#

Reread the theorem...

#

It's a^2+b^2=c^2

rain lark
#

oh wait its hypotenuse squared right?

slender fractal
#

For legs a and b, and hypotenuse c

rain lark
#

I added a superscript 2 to the hypotenose

#

this is what you meant?

slender fractal
#

sure

#

still confused on why you have something about gradient, and why you want so much redudancy

#

especially when... there's no 100 to be seen in the gradient formula

rain lark
#

I think its gradient percentage

#

I just recall having to multiply tan angle by 100 to get gradient in class

#

I study mathematics in dutch so it can be a mistranslation

slender fractal
#

yeah... no

#

gradient is rise/run, which is just tan(t) for whatever angle t

#

there's no 100

#

but either way, it just feels overly complicated when the typical mnemonic SOHCAHTOA encapsulates all that and more

rain lark
#

when you say sohcahtoa

#

I cannot make any sense of that

slender fractal
#

Sine: Opposite Hypotenuse
Cosine: Adjacent Hypotenuse
Tangent: Opposite Adjacent

SOHCAHTOA

#

yeah this graph is way more easy for me to memorize it

#

if it was complete

slender fractal
#

Ok... have fun making 5 more then?

rain lark
#

I will find a way

#

That isnt even the original graph btw, the original is in dutch and its also colour coded but its in my notebook which I don't have with me rn and taking pictures looks horrible
