A number between 0 and 1. The value depends on the angle between
the two sides, and it's called the cosine of that angle.

In a right triangle the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse?
is called the cosine ratio
What is the cosine ratio?
In a specific angle for a right triangle the cosine ratio is the ratio between the lengths of the adjacent side (side touching the angle) and the hypotenuse (longest side).
Is this statement true or false The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to that angle to the length of the hypotenuse.?
False because sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
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 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
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
In a right triangle the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse?
is called the cosine ratio
What is the trigonometric ratio for Cos?
the adjacent side over the hypotenuse
What is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle?
That's the cosine of the angle to which the 'adjacent' side is adjacent.
The tan of an angle equal to the ratio of the?
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.
What is trigonometric ratio?
A TRIGONOMIC ratio is a ratio between either the opposite side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (sine), the adjacent side of an angle and the hypotenuse of a triangle (cosine), or the opposite side of an angle and the adjacent side (tangent). Mnemonic: SOH CAH TOA S= sine C= cosine T= tangent O= opposite A= adjacent H= hypotenuse
What are facts about right triangles?
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.
What is the ratio that defines the cosine of an acute angle of the right angle?
It is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to that of the hypotenuse.
What is the ratio of adjacent to hypotenuse?
It is the cosine ratio.
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.
What is the cosine ratio?
In a specific angle for a right triangle the cosine ratio is the ratio between the lengths of the adjacent side (side touching the angle) and the hypotenuse (longest side).
Is this statement true or false The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to that angle to the length of the hypotenuse.?
False because sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
