Trig on the ASTB

[JeffRohman]

How much trig is needed for the test- such as sin, cos, tang and so on?

I have no idea what the stuff is but I passed.

Math is my worse subject - seriously. I somehow managed to pass the exam. Maybe I just guessed right.

Sorry I can't help you out, but thought there was some gouge here for that exam as well as on http://www.baseops.net (Air Force site, but eh..)

There was one, maybe two questions at most on Form 1 as I recall that theoretically required the use of trig.

First, the most you would need to remember is SOHCAHTOA (http://www.gazinotes.com/KS3-GCSE/AT4-Trig-sohcahtoa.htm). They're not going to throw Euler's identity or randomly ugly hyperbolic tangents or cosecant and stuff... it's very basic stuff.

I suggest knowing the 3-4-5 triangle too...

That's the best I can remember. Dont stress too much about it!

a 3/4/5 triangle is NOT a 30/60/90 triangle.

a 3/4/5 triangle is a 36.8699/53.1301/90 triangle.

I stand utterly corrected on that point, my god, I wasn't awake when I wrote that
