Trig equations are used with SOH-CAH-TOA. There are six main trig functions that exist which are: sine=opposite/hypotenuse, tangent=opposite/adjacent, cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse. The last three trig functions are the reciprocal of the first three with secant corresponding to cosine, cotangent corresponding to tangent and cosecant corresponding to sine. You can use these equations to find the angles of right triangles. Another way to write the reciprocal functions is: cotangent=1/tan, cosecant=1/sine and secant=1/cosine. Here is an example of the trig functions.
