What is a adjacent triangle?
Two sides adjacent to a right angle.
What is the side of the triangle next to the angle?
The side of the triangle next to the angle is called the adjacent side.
Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?
Those are the triangle's "legs".
Real life examples of adjacent angles?
In a right angle triangle the adjacent angle is at the base of the hypotenuse and next to the right angle
What is the trig ratio which relates the opposite to the adjacent of a triangle?
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base and adjacent angle?
Height will be h=base*tan(angle).
At a certain distance the angle of elevation to the top of a building is 60 From 40ft further back the angle of elevation is 45 Find the height of the building?
Angle of elevation: tangent angle = opposite/adjacent and by rearranging the given formula will help to solve the problem
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base
What is a adjacent triangle?
Two sides adjacent to a right angle.
How do you calculate the height of a mountain using trigonometry?
consider a right angle triangle ABC with AB is the base BC is the height , assume that BC is the height of the hillfind the length ABfind the angle BACuse the above equationBC= (tan BAC) * ABso BC is the height of the hill
How do you find the angle of elevation of the sun if the shadow of the pole 60 ft tall reaches 92 ft from the pole?
Providing that the pole is on level ground you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an adjacent side of 92 ft (the shadow of the pole) and a opposite side of 60 ft (the height of the pole). To find the angle of elevation use the tangent ratio. Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent Tangent = 60/92 = 0.652173913 Tan-1(0.652173913) = 33.11134196 degrees Therefore the angle of elevation is 33o correct to two significant figures.
What is the side of the triangle next to the angle?
The side of the triangle next to the angle is called the adjacent side.
Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?
Those are the triangle's "legs".
Real life examples of adjacent angles?
In a right angle triangle the adjacent angle is at the base of the hypotenuse and next to the right angle
What is the trig ratio which relates the opposite to the adjacent of a triangle?
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
What does adjacent mean in math?
adjacent in maths means the angle on a triangle next to a right angle in trigonometry and pythagoras
What are the Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?
Adjacent means next to. So you're asking what sides of a triangle are next to the right angle of a triangle. That would be the 2 shorter sides of the triangle or 'legs' of the triangle. The hypotenuse (which is the longest side of the triangle) is directly across from the right angle.
