The length of the side opposite the 60° angle is about 14.72
(sin 60°) = 0.866
The length of the side opposite the 30° angle is 8.5
(sin 30°) = 0.5

What are facts about right triangles?
The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse is the sine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse is the cosine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to that angle is the tangent of that angle.
How is sine calculated?
If you have an angle then the length of the side OPPOSITE that angle divided by the length of the HYPOTENUSE. (O/H) (HYPOTENUSE is the side opposite the 90 degree angle) or (y/x) and a lot of other cool ways.
What is the true about the lengths of the sides of any 30 - 60- 90 right triangle?
The side opposite the 30° angle is shortest, the side opposite the 60° angle is in the middle (length wíse) and the hypotenuse is the longest. The shortest side is half the length of the hypotenuse.
What can you say about the sides of a triangle opposite the largest angle?
The side of a triangle opposite the largest angle is the side of greatest length. It is also known as the Hypotenuse.
Is the side of a triangle with the greatest length opposite the right angle?
Yes. This side would be called the hypotenuse.
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
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 ratios function of sin?
The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.In terms of ratios, the sine of an angle is defined, in a right angled triangle, as the ratio of lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
For a given angle the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the hypotenuse is called the?
Sine.
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
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.
The side of a right triangle opposite the right angle?
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
If a right triangle is 12.5 meters and the side opposite a 30 angle. how long is the hypotenuse?
If a right triangle is 12.5 meters and the side opposite a 30 angle, the hypotenuse length will be: 14.43 meters.
What is the true about the lengths of the sides of any 30 - 60- 90 right triangle?
The side opposite the 30° angle is shortest, the side opposite the 60° angle is in the middle (length wíse) and the hypotenuse is the longest. The shortest side is half the length of the hypotenuse.
