If you divide length of the opposite side of an angle in a right triangle by the length of the adjacent side what value do you get?
It is a tangent.
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.
Are some parallelograms are kites?
In a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal in length. In a kite two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length.
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).
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.
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)
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 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.
What is trigonometry formula?
Trigonometry is an extremely large field (and a branch of geometry) which deals with the elucidation of the sides of a triangle based on its angles. Some common trigonometric ratios (relating to a right-angled triangle) are as follows: sine of an angle = length of opposite side/length of hypotenuse cosine of an angle = length of adjacent side/length of hypotenuse tangent of an angle = length of opposite side/length of adjacent side Of course other trigonometric ratios exist, such as cotangent, cosecant, secant of the angles. In addition, formulae such as the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule exist to allow us to elucidate the length of an unknown side based on its opposing angle and at least one other side. As this question is relatively vague, I'm afraid that I cannot provide any further assistance in this respect.
If you divide length of the opposite side of an angle in a right triangle by the length of the adjacent side what value do you get?
It is a tangent.
Does a rectangle has adjacent sides equal?
No, a rectangle has opposite side which are equal in length.
In a triangle if all degrees are known and one side length is known how do you find out the other two sides length?
TrigonometryPlug in your value for the sides to find the angle. Opposite and adjacent refer to the location of the angle. For example, to find the angle opposite one side and adjacent to another, use the tangent trigonometric identity. To find the angle opposite one side and with the hypotenuse side, use the sine.sin(x) = opposite side/ hypotenuse sidecos(x) = adjacent side/ hypotenuse sidetan(x) = opposite side/ adjacent sidetan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)Remember the acronymSOH CAH TOAS O Hi p yn p pe o os ti et ne use
I am a quadrilateral that has 4 right angles. My opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. What figure am I?
A quadrilateral with 4 right angles and opposite sides that are parallel can be either a rectangle if the adjacent sides are of different length or a square if the adjacent sides are of the same length.
What is the different between a kite and a parallelogram?
Both shapes have 4 sides, two pairs equal in length. In a parallelogram the equal length sides are opposite each other. In a kite the equal length sides are adjacent.
What name is given to the ratio of the length of the side opposite 30 degree to the length of hypotenuse?
There is no particular name for the trigonometric ratio which depends on the measure of a specific 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.
