Scribe post

SOHCAHTOA
Hi, Today's class was interesting. Because to start the class Mr.K gave us 10 minutes or so to finish our test from yesterday, Because we had a fire drill so we lost about 10 minutes of our time. Thank you Mr.K.
Once we finished the test Mr.K put up 4 triangles on the board and asked us to find sin,cos and tan of the 4 triangles. We all did that. The 4 triangles are these




He then drew them on a graph and found the new sin,cos, and tan values.

Now we have quadrants 1,2,3 and 4. So then we added a couple of negative signs. It is simple why we did, I'll explain it anyways. Sin is relative to a measurement on the y-axis. Therefore, any triangle in the third quadrant and fourth quadrant will always have negative (-) sin value.
Cos is relative to a measurement on the x-axis. Therefore, any triangle in the second quadrant and third quadrant will have negative (-) cos value.
Tan is different from sin and cos, let me show you why.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry about the bad pictures and positioning but i will be editing this post to make it look a little better ( or MUCH more better).
Its been fun scribing and i hope my scribe post will help someone out there some were. Anyways its been fun scribing. This is a new unit were starting called Trigonometry. Our homework is exercise number 9 do all questions. Good luck they are a bit hard.
