How do you find the other side of a right triangle?
use right triangle trig... sin (angle) = opposite side/hypotunese, cos (angle) = adjacent side/hypotunese, and tan (angle) = opposite side/ adjacent side
In a right-angle triangle the incline side multiplied by cosine of the angle gives you?
The adjacent side or base of the triangle.
What is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle?
That's the cosine of the angle to which the 'adjacent' side is adjacent.
What do you call the bottom of a triangle?
Its base or adjacent side if it's a right angle triangle.
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.
How do you label sides of a right angle triangle?
A right angle triangle has an hypotenuse which is its longest side, an adjacent side and an opposite side.

What is the definition of secant-tangent angle?
The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. The tangent angle of a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.
What is the adjacent and opposite sides of a right triangle?
For any angle in the triangle that is not a right angle, the opposite side is the side does not touch the angle and the adjacent side touches it and is perpendicular to the opposite side. The third side is the longest side and is the hypotenuse
In a right-angle triangle the incline side multiplied by cosine of the angle gives you?
The adjacent side or base of the triangle.
What is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle?
That's the cosine of the angle to which the 'adjacent' side is adjacent.
What do you call the bottom of a triangle?
Its base or adjacent side if it's a right angle triangle.
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.
Why Hypotenuse is not called Adjacent?
When considering an angle in a right angled triangle, the adjacent is the short side next to the angle and the hypotenuse is the long one (which will be opposite the 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.
In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.
How is cosine defined?
In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side of that angle to the hypotenuse.
