Couple suggestions...there are quick memorization cheats to know when to use which one in places like Pinterest.

Try to relate the problems to real life. If you can make them seem relevant, it’ll be easier to understand.

One of these would have to stand out to you as a way to easily recall which is appropriate. Particularly the artistic side of you.

@newton the goat Your welcome! I knew there was some “cheat” that I used to recall these details in school. Glad I could help!

@Wehner Homestead I just have to ask....how many times have you used this knowledge of dissecting triangles in the course of your life?

I feel like im dying.... ive picked up extra shifts at work to try and save more money by september and now i have this math kicking my ass.... im never going to use trigonometric ratios in my life so why do i even have to learn this
I feel like im reading greek with no prior knowledge of the language im not saying i cant do it but it certainly is difficult sp far

Newton....stop....stop....don't make a "monster" out of it....take a few deep breaths and relax....there are plenty of things we learn in school that are never used beyond the testing period.....I can't help ya with trig, I left off with algebra 2, but most math is about memorizing formulas so ya know where to plug the numbers into....like a + b = c....or 1/2 bh....the challenge is to learn enough to pass the test and move on.....putting pressure and stress on yourself over the inability to do, with no desire to do....certainly doesn't get the brain in "gear" to face the challenge.....you can do this!!.....just look how far ya have come....and all the crap ya been thru to get to this point......ya really aren't gonna let some silly numbers and letters knock ya out of the "saddle" are ya?......

@Baymule school!

DH is an engineer though so we’ve pulled out things buried in our brain, used our phones for a refresher, and combined our knowledge for angles on a few projects. I’m sure we could’ve made it work another way though.
