tangent
It is a tangent.
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.
In a parallelogram the opposite sides are equal in length. In a kite two pairs of adjacent sides are equal in length.
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).
opposite/hypotenuse = sin(x) adjacent/hypotenuse = cos(x) opposite/adjacent = tan(x) where 'x' is the angle in question.
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)
Yes because tangent = opposite/adjacent
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
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!
It is a tangent.
No, a rectangle has opposite side which are equal in length.
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.
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.
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
There is no particular name for the trigonometric ratio which depends on the measure of a specific 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.
The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse is the sine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse is the cosine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to that angle is the tangent of that angle.
