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 solve a secant angle?
sin = opposite over hypotenusecos = adjacent over hypotenusetan = opposite over adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse over oppositesecant = hypotenuse over adjacentcotangent = adjacent over opposite
The tan of an angle equal to the ratio of the?
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.
How do you find out how to write the ratio for sin X cos X and tan X in a right triangle?
For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)
How can you solve for angle A when only side a and side b of a right triangle are given in trigonometric functions?
It depends on the relationship of the sides to the angle. Assuming that neither side a or side b are the hypotenuse (longest side of the right triangle) and that side A is opposite the angle A and side b is closest (adjacent) to angle A then side a over side b will give the tangent of the angle A. If either side a or side b is the hypotenuse then when multiplied together their relationship to the angle A will give either the Sine or the Cosine of the angle A. Tangent = Opposite side / Adjacent side. Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse. Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse. A full explanation with diagram is at the related link below:
The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
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 work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?
The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.
What is the tangent of a triangle?
In that triangle, one of the angles must be a right angle, and another one of the angles must be marked with or the measurement of the angle. Tangent is the ratio of opposite side over adjacent side. The opposite and adjacent sides are determined by the position of the marked angle.
What is the sin cos tan trick?
Sine is opposite side of angle over hypotenuse. Cosine is adjacent side of angle over hypotenuse. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side.
The trigonometric ratio cosine is equal to?
opposite over adjacent
How do you solve a secant angle?
sin = opposite over hypotenusecos = adjacent over hypotenusetan = opposite over adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse over oppositesecant = hypotenuse over adjacentcotangent = adjacent over opposite
The tan of an angle equal to the ratio of the?
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.
Explain why the tangent of 45 equals 1?
Tangent is determined by the ratio of the side opposite the angle over the one adjacent to it. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of these sides is 1. This is because the side opposite one of the 45 degree angles is adjacent to the other, and vise versa.
How do you find out how to write the ratio for sin X cos X and tan X in a right triangle?
For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)
When you say Tangent of 30 equals -6.40 does the -6.40 represent the length or angle of something else?
In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle other than the right angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle over the length of the side adjacent to the angle (the side between the angle and the right angle).
In trig what is the opposite side over the hypotenuse?
It is the 'sine' ratio for a right angle triangle
