Opposite over hypotenuse.
Sin=opposite/hypotenuse
cos=adjacent/hypotenuse
tan=opposite/adjacent
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.
A way of remembering how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse. TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.
In a right triangle, the right angle is formed by sides a and b. Side c is the hypotenuse.Theta is the interior angle that joins (let's say) sides b and c. The sin of theta is the length of a over the length of c. The cos of theta is the length of b over the length of c. The tan of theta is the length of a over the length of b.Sin theta= opposite divided by hypotenuse. Cos theta=adjacent divided by hypotenuse. Tan theta=opposite over adjacent.(Sin1-Cos1)-Tan1=-1.25623905Sorry, that was a mathematician's joke.
its short for sine. theres sine, cosine, and tangent. sine is opposite over adjacent for the sides of a triangle (or angles)
it is POSITIVE because tangent is said to be as OPPOSITE all over ADJACENT side of the triangle. since the opposite and adjacent sides of theta in Quadrant 3 are both negative, the quotient of two negative integers is POSITIVE. in third quadrant tanƟ= -O/-A
no it is angle opposite to tita/ hypotenouse
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
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.
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.
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.
opposite over adjacent
sin = opposite over hypotenusecos = adjacent over hypotenusetan = opposite over adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse over oppositesecant = hypotenuse over adjacentcotangent = adjacent over opposite
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.
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.
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 :)
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).
It is the 'sine' ratio for a right angle triangle
