Consider a right triangle that has these dimensions The side opposite angle A is 6 meters and the side adjacent angle A is 8 meters. How long is the hypotenuse?

When two sides of a right triangle are 6 and 8, the triangle is similar to a 3-4-5 right triangle. Since 6 is twice 3 and 8 is twice 4, the hypotenuse has to be twice 5 or 10.

What is the opposite side of an adjacent?
The opposite side of an adjacent is the hypotenuse. Sin(q) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos(q) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan(q) = Opposite / Adjacent Reference: http://easycalculation.com/trigonometry/triangle-angles.php
Is the cosine adjacent to the hypotenuse?
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
How do you find the cosine and the sine?
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
3 lengths can be measures of a right triangle?
Opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse.
What is Parts of a right triangle?
Hypotenuse the longest side of the triangle, then the Legs: Adjacent and Opposite
The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
How To Use SohCahToa?
Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
What is the opposite side of an adjacent?
The opposite side of an adjacent is the hypotenuse. Sin(q) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos(q) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan(q) = Opposite / Adjacent Reference: http://easycalculation.com/trigonometry/triangle-angles.php
Definition of the 6 trigonometric functions?
The six main trigonometric functions are sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse tan(x)=opposite/adjacent csc(x)=hypotenuse/opposite cot(x)=adjacent/opposite sec(x)=hypotenuse/adjacent Where hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent correspond to the three sides of a right triangle and x corresponds to an angle in that right triangle.
What is sahcahtoa?
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
Is the cosine adjacent to the hypotenuse?
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
What is the formula for sine function?
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
How do you find the cosine and the sine?
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
What are the kinds of angles in trigonometry?
adjacent opposite hypotenuse
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 solve a secant angle?
sin = opposite over hypotenusecos = adjacent over hypotenusetan = opposite over adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse over oppositesecant = hypotenuse over adjacentcotangent = adjacent over opposite
How do you find the sin of a triangle?
Sin is opposite over hypotenuse. Just think of this to help you: SOH-CAH-TOA Sine = opposite over hypotenuse Cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse Tangent = opposite over adjacent Hope that helps you.
