Pythagorean theorem, SOH-CAH-TOA, and similar triangles.
Right-triangle and trig questions combine Pythagorean logic with sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. They also often hide a similar-triangles shortcut.
These are real practice questions pulled from our Digital SAT bank. Try each one before reading the highlighted correct answer.
