I like to use the Khan Academy website (www.khanacademy.org)when learning new math concepts. This website offers lots of videos and practice questions. I found a GREAT video that provides an introduction to Basic Trigonometry. Some information I already knew, like what a right triangle is and which side is the hypotenuse. However, I learned new terms such as the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. It all depends on which angle to use and identifying the sides opposite and adjacent. An easy way to remember the trig ratios is SOH-CAH-TOA. I also like this website because there is a blog where you can find questions and answers posted by other people.
