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.
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.
What is trigonometric ratio?
A TRIGONOMIC ratio is a ratio between either the opposite side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (sine), the adjacent side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (cosine), or the opposite side of an angle and the adjacent side (tangent). Mnemonic: SOH CAH TOA S= sine C= cosine T= tangent O= opposite A= adjacent H= hypotenuse
In a right triangle what is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
The ratio is called the tangent of the angle. (also equal to sine/cosine)
What is the ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle?
Well this could be the slope of the hypotenuse. Or it could be the tangent of the angle adjacent to one of the sides [tan Θ = opposite/adjacent ]
What is the definition of the tangent ratio for a right triangle?
The tangent ratio for a right angle triangle is opposite/adjacent.
The ratio of the opposite adjacent sides of a right triangle?
Tangent
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.
In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.

What is the correct trigonometric ratio is for tan?
For a right angle triangle the trigonometrical ration is: tangent = opposite/adjacent
In a right triangle what is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
The ratio is called the tangent of the angle. (also equal to sine/cosine)
How do you find the ratio of two adjacent side lengths in a triangle?
They are in the same proportion as the sines of the angles that are opposite them.
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base
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.
