Stand at the Angle, Then Read the Sides

SOH-CAH-TOA means standing at the angle and reading opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse from there. Watch where careful solvers still lose the point — a ratio built from the wrong sides, the complementary sine-cosine identity gone missing, and the other angle’s ratio or an unscaled value reported for a question that asked for something else.
