What are the sides of a triangle called?
Given the reference perspective of a specific angle the sides are are the adjacent sides and the opposite side If we have a right triangle the longest side (opposite the right angle) is the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite to what angle?
The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle. The legs are the other two sides which form the right angle.
What is the name for the sides of a right triangle that are adjacent to the right angle?
Opposite and adjacent sides.
What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest of the three sides in the triangle.
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 are the types of sides in trigonometry?
They are: opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides for a right angle triangle
What are the two sides of a triangle that are not opposite the right angle are called?
legs
How can you identify the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
A right triangle, by definition, has a right (or 90o) angle. The side that is opposite that right angle is the hypotenuse. That is to say, the other two sides, which are not the hypotenuse, are the two sides which meet at a right angle.
Does a right angle triangle have equal sides?
No, all three sides of a right angle triangle cannot be equal. In a right angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle - the hypotenuse - will always be the longest side of the triangle. The remaining two sides may be equal to each other, but they don't have to be.
What right triangle has legs of equal length?
A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.
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
The sides of a right triangle are also called legs?
The sides that form the right angle are called legs. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
