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
Does An exterior angle of a triangle equals 180 minus the adjacent interior angle?
Yes it does. Good work!
Calculate the area of a triangle?
If it is a right angled triangle then it is 0.5*(base)*(height) of the triangle half the base times by the height imagine it as half the area of a rectangle of the two triangles * * * * * That is all very well if you know the base and the height. Sometimes you know only the three sides. Or only two sides and an angle, or two angle and a side. There are a whole host of formulae for such circumstances.
When you use a formula to calculate the area of a triangle does it matter which base - height pair you use.?
The side you use as the base does not matter. What does matter is that the height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the other vertex. If there is a right angle in the triangle, then use the two sides next to it as the base and height. Otherwise a bit of trigonometry will be required to work out the height of the triangle if it is not given.
A triangle has an angle of 15 degrees. The side opposite the angle is 1.2m in length. How would you find the base of the triangle Not the hypotenuse?
Assuming this is a right triangle. the tan of an angle is the side opposite over the side adjacent. We know the side opposite, we need to find the side adjacent, we will assign this unknown side temporarily as x. tan(15) = 1.2 / x x = 1.2 / tan(15) x (the side adjacent) is approx. 4.49 m
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 calculate the height of the triangle when you have the base and an angle?
something
How do you find the degree when you know height and length?
To find the degree of an angle when you know the height and length of a right triangle, you can use the tangent function. The tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side (height) divided by the adjacent side (length). You can calculate the angle by taking the arctangent (inverse tangent) of the height divided by the length: ( \text{angle} = \tan^{-1}(\frac{\text{height}}{\text{length}}) ). This will give you the angle in degrees.
How do you find the adjacent side of the angle of elevation of a right triangle if you have the angle of elevation and height?
i dont care about math even though i use it.
How do you calculate the base of a right triangle given the height and angle?

What is a adjacent triangle?
Two sides adjacent to a right angle.
Hownto calculate the area of triangle with out using its angle?
A = 1/2(base)(height)
What is the side of the triangle next to the angle?
The side of the triangle next to the angle is called the adjacent side.
Sides adjacent to the right angle of a triangle?
Those are the triangle's "legs".
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
Real life examples of adjacent angles?
In a right angle triangle the adjacent angle is at the base of the hypotenuse and next to the right angle
How do you calculate the height of a mountain using trigonometry?
consider a right angle triangle ABC with AB is the base BC is the height , assume that BC is the height of the hillfind the length ABfind the angle BACuse the above equationBC= (tan BAC) * ABso BC is the height of the hill
