Answer:

SOHCAHTOA

Explanation:

Usually, in American schools, the term "SOHCAHTOA" is used to remember them. "SOH" is sine opposite hypotenuse, "CAH" is cosine adjacent hypotenuse, and "TOA" is tangent opposite adjacent. There is also Csc which is hypotenuse/opposite, Sec which is hypotenuse/adjacent, and Cot is adjacent/opposite.
