Whats the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.
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.
How do you determine what side of the triangle is the hypotenuse?
Given a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side or simply the side opposite the 90o angle.
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
If the side opposite angle A of a right triangle is 30 meters and the hypotenuse is 90 meters what is the sin of angle a?
sin of angle a = opposite/hypotenuse = 1/3 sin-1(1/3) = 19.47122063 degrees
