What else can I help you with?
Is there such thing as a right angled triangle?
Yes, there is such thing as a right-angled triangle. The measure of the adjacent and opposite form together to create a 90 degree angle. That means that the measure of the hypotenuse and adjacent must be 45 degrees and the hypotenuse and opposite measures to 45 degrees.
What is the name for the longest side of a right angled triangle?
It is called the hypotenuse. The adjacent side is beneath it and the opposite side opposite it.
Are the hypotenuse of a right triangle adjacent to the right angle?
First: there can only be one hypotenuse in a right angled triangle and it is always OPPOSITE the right angle, NEVER adjacent.
What is the equation for finding the sine and cosine and tangent of a triangle?
For finding the angles in a right angled triangle the ratios are: sine = opposite divided by the hypotenuse cosine = adjacent divided by the hypotenuse tangent = opposite divided by the adjacent
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 does trigonometric ratios mean?
They may be defined as the ratios of the lengths of sides of a right angled triangle, relative to either of the other angles.sine = opposite/hypotenusecosine = adjacent/hypotenusetangent = opposite/adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse/oppositesecant = hypotenuse/adjacentcotangent = adjacent/opposite.
If the sun is hitting a pole at 30 degrees altitude and the pole is 3' tall how long is the shadow?
If the pole is on level ground then you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an opposite side of 3 feet and an adjacent angle of 30 degrees. To find the length of the adjacent side (which in effect is the shadow of the pole) use the tangent ratio: tangent = opposite/adjacent which can be rearranged to: adjacent = opposite/tangent adjacent = 3/tangent 30o = 5.196152423 feet Therefore the shadow cast by the pole is 5.2 feet corrected to one decimal place.
What does sohcahtoa stand for?
Its a way of remembering the three trigonometrical ratios of a right angled triangle: soh means: sine = opposite/hypotenuse cah means: cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse toa means: tangent = opposite/adjacent
Is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg?
Suppose ABC is a triangle. There is nothing in the question that requires the triangle to be right angled. Suppose AB is the side opposite to angle C and BC is a side adjacent to angle C. Then AB/BC = sin(C)/sin(A)
What is the correct trigonometric ratio is for tan?
For a right angle triangle the trigonometrical ration is: tangent = opposite/adjacent
What type of triangle has an angle that measures 120 degrees?
An obtuse angled triangle.An obtuse angled triangle.An obtuse angled triangle.An obtuse angled triangle.
What is an acute-angled triangle?
An acute-angled triangle is a triangle in which all the interior angles are between 1 and 89 degrees.
