What is a cosine ratio?

In a right angle triangle it is: cosine ratio = adjacent/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.

If you mean cosine then it is angle ratio found in a right angle triangle which is adjacent/hypotenuse


How is cosine defined?

In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side of that angle to the hypotenuse.


Are the hypotenuse of a right triangle adjacent to the right angle?

First: there can only be one hypotenuse in a right angled triangle and it is always OPPOSITE the right angle, NEVER adjacent.


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


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).


Does the cosine rario work with non- right triangles?

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse only when the angle is in a right triangle. (Otherwise, how would you know which side is the "hypotenuse" ?)


What is the 30 to 60 right triangle theorem?

The ratio of the lengths of the hypotenuse to the shortest side is 2, and the ratio of the lengths of the two sides adjacent to the right angle is the square root of 3.
