Guys guys guys, I seriously just had to wiki Trig to remember that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse, cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan A = sin A/cos A = opposite/adjacent.

I seriously forgot SOHCAHTOA. I'm losing my mind :(

Our maths teacher set them up in one of those cute little physics triangles so I've never forgotten the order...what they mean yes but not the order

I used to use them constantly and I would NEVER have expected to forget them. :-/

I still rely on the distance/time.velocity physics triangle, though. :D
