No problem specifically, just more of a method question.
I am extremely confused on when to use sin cos and tan. Say for instance it gives me an angle, say theta, and one side. How would I be able to tell what to use sin cos or tan. I know the trick SohCahToa but I really am confused. I am in a physics class and this comes up all the time and I feel as if I eliminate this barrier it will really benefit me in the long run. Thanks.
