Mastering Right Triangles: Solving for Missing Sides and Angles

Finding all of the missing lengths and angles of a right triangle can be confusing. With SOHCAHTOA, the Pythagorean Theorem, and Interior Angle Sum methods being hard to identify when to use each to find what you are looking for.
The examples in this video were chosen to help explain when to use the three methods and talks about the expected result of each method.

    It has been so long since I touched Calc 3, hope it goes well for you!!! Calc 2 and 3 are blended in my mind, I don't really remember the divide... How is the course going?

    ​@@JoeCMath Well I am doing fine the semester ends April 22nd and I have my final midterm tomorrow . Also, yeah I feel like in a year calc 2 and 3 will be just a blur. I am taking linear algebra this summer and will be taking Differential equation in the fall. So we will see how that goes. Are you an engineer, physics major, or mathematician?

    Well congrats on almost being done with another semester! Hope you find time to unwind! My background is mainly in math. Took a lot of proof based courses after Differential Equations. I eventually focused on Operations Research which sort of spans mathematics, business, and engineering. You use math to support decison making within Operations Research. This includes logistics/transportation, scheduling/project planning, and inventory management type problems. It is pretty wild to think about how big all of these fields of study are! Not to mention machine learning popping up out of nowhere in the last decade or so to begin solving these problems in other ways!

    @@JoeCMath Yeah it's pretty cool stuff! Is Operations research like industrial systems engineering? Because if so that's a pretty cool field. You have a great channel and I can see you getting big one day because you seem to teach the material well

    Thank you so much for that compliment! That will fuel some more videos! But yeah Operations Reserach could be found within Industrial Engineering at many colleges. It can exist in the Math or Business departments as well, sort of depends on the school... but I'd say the problems match up well to Industrial Engineering.

    Joe, i am not a mathematician like you. But my teacher told me that a triangle has 3 sides. So if one side is missing than would it still be a triangle. Maybe my teacher is stupid. However i will take your advice and start looking for the missing side. Will let you know when i find it. That's all i can offer. Thanks. Have a good day. Will contact you in 6 days 😂

    Great, missing sides get a bad reputation sometimes, after you gain some experience consider applying to the Triangle Search and Rescue team, enrollment has been down in recent years. 🤣

    Triangles are labelled ABC in south Africa not ^A...
