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 ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the hypotenuse?
sine
Fill in the blank If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 11 the length of the hypotenuse is?
22, The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. As it is a right angle triangle, the Sine ratio can be used: Sine = opposite/hypotenuse ⇒ hypotenuse = opposite/sine = 11/sine 30o = 11 ÷ 1/2 = 22
What could the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?
1/2 sqrt(3) = 0.866 (rounded)
What is the ratio between the leg length and the throat thickness on a mitre filet weld with equal leg lengths?
it depends on the fillet welds dimentions and fit up requirements
He length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. Fin?
The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
What angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length?
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?
It is the tangent ratio.
How do you know which trigonometric ratio to use when finding the measure of an angle?
Sin= Opposite leg/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent leg/ Hypotenuse Tan=Adjacent leg/ Opposite leg
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.
What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the hypotenuse?
sine
Is a ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the hypotenuse?
Sine
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.
The tangent ratio relates the length of the leg?
the opposite
The sine ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the?
hypotenuse.
The ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
sine
What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
The sine.
When you say Tangent of 30 equals -6.40 what does the -6.40 represent. Is it the length of something or the angle of something?
-6.40 It is the length of the opposite leg divided by the length of the adjacent leg
