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.

For a set of five whole numbers, the mean is 4, the mode is 1, and the median is 5. What are the five numbers?
zmey [24]
SO we need 5 numbers that equal to 20, with 5 being the middle number, and ones being the most used number so

1 1 5 x y

According to this, x and y must equal 13 and both be bigger then 5. Because we can rule out every other number, x and y must be 6 and 7.

Your 5 numbers are 1, 1, 5, 6, 7.

Which of the following graphs represent a nonproportional relationship? Select all that apply.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

2nd, 4th and 5th one

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

So remember in order for it to be a proportional relationship it has to be a straight line and it has to go through the origin (0,0)

The 2nd, 4th and 5th ones are non proportional relationships

Why? Well because they don't go through the origin

Taylor wants to center a 3.5 inch picture on a piece of paper that is 12 inches wide How
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper

Step-by-step explanation:

- Taylor wants to center a 3.5 inch picture on a piece of paper that is

12 inches wide

- Lets think about that he want to put the picture in the center of the

paper, then divide the length of the paper into two equal parts and the

picture into two equal part

∵ The width of the paper is 12 inches

∵ 12 ÷ 2 = 6 inches

∵ The width of the picture is 3.5 inches

∵ 3.5 ÷ 2 = 1.75

- Now lets subtract from 6 inches (half paper) 1.75 inches (half picture)

to find the distance between the side of the paper and the picture

∵ 6 - 1.75 = 4.25

∴ The distance from the side of the paper to the picture is 4.25 inches

* <em>The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper</em>

* Look to attached figure for more understand
