Two things that are adjacent to each other are in contact with each other without overlapping. Examples are adjacent apartments, adjacent states, and adjacent sides of a polygon.
The word adjacent as used in the definitions of the cosine and tangent trigonometric functions can be a little confusing because, obviously, it takes two sides to make an angle in a polygon, so, technically, you could say that each angle is adjacent to two sides. When trig functions refer to the side adjacent to one of the acute angles in a right triangle, they are referring to the one that's not the hypotenuse, or, in other words, the one that is also adjacent to the right angle.

What is adjacent acute angles?
Adjacent acute angle is not one word. An Adjacent angles are angles that are side by side.
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 meant by adjacent sides of a rectangle?
Adjacent sides are sides that are immediately side by side. They are sides that form or subtend an angle.
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
Two angles that are vertical are adjacent?
No they are not because adjacent angles are on the same side while vertical angles are on the opposite therefore vertical angles are non adjacent.
What is the adjacent opposite side?
There is not an adjacent opposite side.
A sentence for adjacent?
The one side is adjacent to the other side.
Non adjacent side of a triangle?
The side that is not adjacent to another side of a triangle is called the opposite side.
What is adjacent acute angles?
Adjacent acute angle is not one word. An Adjacent angles are angles that are side by side.
How do you find the ratio of adjacent sides?
You divide the length of one adjacent side by the length of the other adjacent side.
What are adjacent bits?
Bits that are side by side.
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 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.
What is meant by adjacent sides of a rectangle?
Adjacent sides are sides that are immediately side by side. They are sides that form or subtend an angle.
What is the length of the hypotenuse if the angles are 90 34 and 56 also the adjacent side is 20?
The answer will depend on which angle the side is adjacent to!
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
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
