Is there any tricks to memorize the special right triangle's sides?

My algebra teacher got us all to remember that word because...
Soh - Sin = Opposite / Hypotenus
Cah - Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenus
Toa - Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Sin, Cos, and Tan are what you can use to find missing triangle sides if you know at least one other angle besides the 90 degree angle.

No, but there is a way of creating them. If you let 
a = 2xy
b = x^2 - y^2 where x > y
c = x^2 + y^2 

And a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You can create these sides to your needs. For example

x = 5
y = 2

2xy = 2*5*2 = 20
x^2 - y^2 = 25 - 4 = 21
x^2 + y^2 = 25 + 4 = 29  which is not well known but it is a right angle.

29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2

841 = 400 + 441
841 = 841

Just one further comment. It is easy to check to see if the triangle you are talking about is a right triangle. Just use a^2 + b^2 = c^2. 

Generally it is unnecessary to either create your own or memorize ones you have come across. 

I think any math teacher would say "why bother?"
If you are not satisfied, put a reason for doing this in the comments.

Complete question is;

Many states run lotteries to raise money. A website advertises that it knows "how to increase YOUR chances of Winning the Lottery." They offer several systems and criticize others as foolish. One system is called Lucky Numbers. People who play the Lucky Numbers system just pick a "lucky" number to play, but maybe some numbers are luckier than others. Let's use a simulation to see how well this system works. To make the situation manageable, simulate a simple lottery in which a single digit from 0 to 9 is selected as the winning number. Any value can be​ picked, but for this​ exercise, pick 1 as the lucky number. What proportion of the time do you​ win?

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that To make the situation manageable, simulate a simple lottery in which a single digit from 0 to 9 is selected as the winning number.

This means the total number of single digits that could possibly be a winning one is 10.

Since we are told that only 1 can be picked, thus;

Probability of winning is; 1/10 = 0.1 or 10%

Suppose f (x) = x^2. Find the graph of f(x+2)
NISA [10]
\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{function transformations}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% templates&#10;f(x)={{  A}}({{  B}}x+{{  C}})+{{  D}}&#10;\\\\&#10;~~~~y={{  A}}({{  B}}x+{{  C}})+{{  D}}&#10;\\\\&#10;f(x)={{  A}}\sqrt{{{  B}}x+{{  C}}}+{{  D}}&#10;\\\\&#10;f(x)={{  A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{  B}}x+{{  C}}}+{{  D}}&#10;\\\\&#10;f(x)={{  A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{  C}}  \right)+{{  D}}&#10;\\\\&#10;--------------------

\bf \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by  } {{  A}}\cdot {{  B}}\\\\&#10;\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{  A}}\textit{ is negative}\\&#10;~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the x-axis}&#10;\\\\&#10;\bullet \textit{ flips it sideways if }{{  B}}\textit{ is negative}\\&#10;~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the y-axis}

\bf \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{  C}}}{{{  B}}}\\&#10;~~~~~~if\ \frac{{{  C}}}{{{  B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\&#10;\left. \qquad  \right.  if\ \frac{{{  C}}}{{{  B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\&#10;\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{  D}}\\&#10;~~~~~~if\ {{  D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\&#10;~~~~~~if\ {{  D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\&#10;\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{  B}}}

with that template in mind,

\bf f(x)=x^2\qquad \quad f(x+2)=(x+2)^2\implies f(x+2)=\stackrel{A}{1}(\stackrel{B}{1}x\stackrel{C}{+2})^2\stackrel{D}{+0}

C = 2         B = 1        C/B = 2/1 or +2,    horizontal left shift of 2 units

f(x) shifted left by 2 units is f(x+2).
