This video looks to seek where Sin (Sine), Cos and Tan actually come from.
Looking at the ratios of the sides of right angle triangles, we can notice certain patterns if we measure different right angle triangles with the same angles. Very similar to how ratios exist in circles with circumference and diameter to discover Pi.
We can then make trig (trigonometry) tables for all the angles and then draw the graph of sin(x) which forms the sine wave.
These trig ratios help us finding missing angles or sides in triangles by using SOHCAHTOA (SOH CAH TOA).
The sine function can be obtained by taking ratios of triangle sides at different angles.

I had Trig in high school, then a review in college. Both times, I struggled with the Trig Identities, because we were supposed to memorize them. Years later, I wanted to go back and take my math studies further. I took Trig as a refresher and the Professor introduced the unit circle. I immediately realized that what I'd been struggling to memorize was nothing more than the Pythagorean Theorem. They had just renamed A, B, and C as Trig functions. Why didn't anyone else explain that?

At that point,it would be a lot more smooth and would make more sense for us. We are so priviledge to have internet nowadays and be able to catch up all of that.

Ever since a teacher (20+ years ago) told the class that the code in computers and calculators to calculate Sin is several pages long, I've though Sin is some impossible thing for me to ever be able to understand, so I have avoided sin/cos/tan as much as possible when programming (as I prefer if my code relies on things I understand). But now, youtube recomended this video and I thought I could at least give 10 minutes of my life to try and see what Sin is all about.... and yeah, wow, that was simple to understand. Thank you for a very elegant explanation. :)

Back when I was in junior high school in the early 1990s, I got really into computers and coding. I was playing with making graphical programs that would display things, like flying through a starfield and stuff. I knew all the geometry stuff about triangles, and realized that the ratios of different sides and angles would hold for right triangles, and made code to let me create pseudo-3D stuff (like you would set a point in 3D, but it would figure out what 2D location to actually put it on the screen through using these ratios to figure out all the lengths needed). The next year in school we had trigonometry and I discovered all these ratios I had been using had names like sine, cosine, tangent. I always wondered why in class they never really explained it based on the ratios that become obvious once you've had geometry and learned about similar triangles. It seemed very intuitive that way for me.

When I first learned trig, it was as functions of a circle. At 16 my brain was easily distracted and while I got a basis of the theory, a lot of how to manipulate it was lost. About 7 years later I needed a better understanding and took a night class. The teacher forbade thinking of it as derivative of a circle and taught it as a purely intellectual function. That conflict really screwed up my head. It's so much easier to visualize as functions of a circle.

I switched off from my studies as a young student because no teacher could explain the relationship between the Sin 0.5 and Cosine 0.866 values, etc. They were too busy wrapped up in numbers without any visual clues. If only my teacher had drawn a circle on the blackboard and split it into quadrants. Forming the x and y axis, and then said, treat the radius as one unit. Project an angle ( let's say 30° through the centre of the quadrant) and where it meets the circumference (1 unit= let's say 100mm for the purpose of the exercise), drop a perpendicular intersection to the x axis. That would be 86mm (0.86).Then, project a perpendicular intersection to the y axis from the same point on the circumference, which would form the 50mm (0.5). Therefore, forming the relationships between sine and cosine. And Tan would be the intersection of the y axis, hence the reason it's infinity at 90°. It would have made so much more sense earlier on in my life. After that, it's all simple ratio and proportion, which you've explained really well here.

Thanks for that. I remember being good at trigonometry whilst at the same time having no understanding of it at all. I could plug the numbers in amd passed all the tests but did not know the different waves were generated by the relationships between the sides. The trouble is if you don't understand the why you forget the how very quickly.

If online resources like this was available during my days, I think many students could have landed on a better career path. I wanted to be an ECE during my days because I was so curious how electronic things work, but due to my poor math skills I never pursued it. It is fascinating nowadays how information / knowledge is very much accessible for almost everyone but very unfortunate that many students nowadays do not grab this kind of opportunity to learn things.

This is the way teach students those who are studying trignometry , a big salute

Bro, if I had found your explanation a while ago I would've stay in school. Good job

Very good and easy to understand explaination . Missing in almost every textbook.

THANK YOU! my physics class tossed me into trig and Id never even used these before so ive been so confused. This makes it make so much more sense.

So sin is an operator which converts the angle in a right angle triangle to the ratio of the opposite side and the hypotonese side. Brilliant

I used trigonometry to navigate by sextant as well as build roofs as a carpenter. Advancing tech has made both uses redundant but I have finally understood what Syn, Cos and Tan are.

I was at school 60 years ago and for many years used sin, cos, and tan in my work. The derivation of which I finally understand.

Damn... all these years. THANK YOU. This makes me believe that most (and I say MOST) math teachers go OUT OF THERE WAY TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE process, complicated.

Jesus Christ, I’m in *college* and this is the very first time anyone has ever explained this to me in this way. Seriously I’ve gone my whole academic life without ever connecting the actual understanding between Sohcahtoa and the universal outputs they’ll create
