Can you find the 2 sides of a triangle if you only know the length of the hypotenuse and the angle between the hypotenuse and the base line?
Yes. If c is the length of the hypotenuse, and alpha is the angle between the hypotenuse and the base. If we say a is the length of the side opposite angle alpha and b is the length of the adjacent side, then the lengths a and b are as follows: a=h*sin(alpha) b=h*cos(alpha)
Is this statement true or false The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to that angle to the length of the hypotenuse.?
False because sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
If you divide length of the opposite side of an angle in a right triangle by the length of the hypotenuse what value do you get?
You get the sine of the angle. For a right triangle: sin (x) = opposite/hypotenuse cos (x) = adj./hypotenuse tan (x) = opposite/adj
What is the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse?
The side opposite the 30° angle is 1/2 the hypotenuse or 0.5 hThe side opposite the 60° angle is (sin60°) times the hypotenuse or about 0.866 h
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure 30 in and 72 in?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle its hypotenuse length is 78 in.
The sine ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the?
hypotenuse.
What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
The sine.
The ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
sine
Fill in the blank The sine ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the?
Hypotenuse
What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the leg adjacent to the angle?
This ratio is the tangent of the angle.If the triangle is a right angled triangle and the angle in question is not the right angle, then it is the tangent of the angle in question.
Find hypotenuse only using opposite and angle?
In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.
In a right triangle the ratio of the length of the side opposite an acute angle to the length of the hypotenuse?
sin θ : 1 = the length of opposite side to angle θ : the length of the hypotenuse
How do you calculate the length of the opposite and adjacent sides in a right angle triangle if you know the length of the hypotenuse and the angle between the adjacent and hypotenuse?
the sides can be found out by using trignometry.. sines and cosines.. sine of an agle is perpendicular/hypotenuse cosine of an angle is base/hypotenuse..
What is the length of the hypotenuse of the rigth triangle ABC in if AC 6 and AD 5?
Assuming you mean side AB is 5: If angle B is the right angle, side AC is the hypotenuse and is of length 6. If angle A is the right angle, side BC is the hypotenuse and is of length sqrt(52 + 62) ~= 7.81 Angle C cannot be the right angle as then side AB would be the hypotenuse but the hypotenuse is the longest side and side AB is shorter than AC.
Fill in the blank The ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
This ratio is called the sine ratio for a right triangle. A simple way to remember this is by using the mnemonic 'SOHCAHTOA', where SOH stands for sine equals the ratio opposite side/ hypotenuse, COH is cosine equals adjacent side/hypotenuse, and TOA is tangent equals opposite side/adjacent side.
In a right triangle the sine of any angle is?
The longest side of the right angles triangle is called the hypotenuse. Divide the length of the side opposite the chosen angle by the length of the hypotenuse. This is the Sine of the angle.
Can you find the 2 sides of a triangle if you only know the length of the hypotenuse and the angle between the hypotenuse and the base line?
Yes. If c is the length of the hypotenuse, and alpha is the angle between the hypotenuse and the base. If we say a is the length of the side opposite angle alpha and b is the length of the adjacent side, then the lengths a and b are as follows: a=h*sin(alpha) b=h*cos(alpha)
