The side of a right triangle opposite the right angle?
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
Can there be a hypotenuse of a circle?
No. A hypotenuse is defined as the side opposite the right angle in a triangle that contains a right angle.
What is the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse?
The side opposite the 30° angle is 1/2 the hypotenuse or 0.5 hThe side opposite the 60° angle is (sin60°) times the hypotenuse or about 0.866 h
Why is the hypotenuse the longest side?
In a right angle triangle the hypotenuse is the largest side because it is opposite to the largest angle which is 90 degrees.
How do you measure a hypotenuse angle if you know the other two angles?
The hypotenuse is a side, not an angle. However, if you mean the angle across from the hypotenuse, it is always 90 degrees, or pi/2 radians because hypotenuses only exist in right triangles.
