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.
Is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg?
Suppose ABC is a triangle. There is nothing in the question that requires the triangle to be right angled. Suppose AB is the side opposite to angle C and BC is a side adjacent to angle C. Then AB/BC = sin(C)/sin(A)
How do you find the unknown side of a right triangle given the length of another side and an angle?
opposite/hypotenuse = sin(x) adjacent/hypotenuse = cos(x) opposite/adjacent = tan(x) where 'x' is the angle in question.
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 determine which is the adjacent side of a right triangle?
There are three sides, hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent. But the adjacent and opposite are not fixed sides: it depends on which of the two acute angles you are examining.For either of the non-right angles, the adjacent side is the one which forms the angle, along with the hypotenuse. For the given angle θ, the length of the adjacent side compared to the hypotenuse (adjacent/hypotenuse) is the cosine (cos θ).
In a right triangle the of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.?
Yes because tangent = opposite/adjacent
What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?
Oh, dude, you're talking about trigonometry now! The ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg in a right triangle is called the tangent of the angle. It's calculated by dividing the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side. So, like, if you're trying to find that ratio, just remember to divide and conquer!
What is the definition of secant-tangent angle?
The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. The tangent angle of a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.

Is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg?
Suppose ABC is a triangle. There is nothing in the question that requires the triangle to be right angled. Suppose AB is the side opposite to angle C and BC is a side adjacent to angle C. Then AB/BC = sin(C)/sin(A)
What is the tangent of a right triangle?
There is no such thing as the tangent of a triangle. Circles, angles, and conversations have tangents. In a right angled triangle, the tangent of one of the acute angles is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it.
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
How do you find the width and length of a rectangle knowing ONLY the diagonal and its angle?
By using the trigonometric ratios of Sine and Cosine. The diagonal forms the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle with the length and width of the rectangle forming the other two sides of the triangle - the adjacent and opposite sides to the angle. Then: sine = opposite/hypotenuse → opposite = hypotenuse x sine(angle) cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse → adjacent = hypotenuse x cosine(angle)
What is a four sided figure with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length with opposite sides not equal in length?
I Am pretty sure it's a triangle(: No it's not a triangle has 3 sides i think its a trapezoid.
How do you find the ratio of adjacent sides?
You divide the length of one adjacent side by the length of the other adjacent side.
How do you find the unknown side of a right triangle given the length of another side and an angle?
opposite/hypotenuse = sin(x) adjacent/hypotenuse = cos(x) opposite/adjacent = tan(x) where 'x' is the angle in question.
What equation do you use to find the adjacent side length of a triangle if you know the hypotenuse and the opposite side?
Third side = sqrt(hyp2 - opp2)
