Pythagorean theorem.

I got to calculus 2 and proceeded to forget everything through algebra II once I took a break from math for a semester.

Sine of theta is the ratio of the lengths of the Opposite side over the Hypotenuse (SOH). Cosine of theta is Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH). Tangent of theta is Opposite over Adjacent (TOA).

Believe this was featured in a paper that recently used trig to prove the Pythagorean theorem (previously thought to be a circular definition). I think some highschoolers cracked it as part of a mathematics challenge or something.
