Yeah, dividing a circle into 360 parts, then subdividing those by 60, and further subdividing those by 60 makes so much more sense than just using ratio of a number fundamental to circles themselves.
SOH CAH TOA is just a trick to make rote memorization of procedure easier. Understanding the unit circle will let you understand what trigonometry is actually doing.
I’m fine doing SOH CAH TOA, but the unit circle can go fuck itself. Same with radians.
