If the hypotenuse and an adjacent angle of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and angle of another right triangle will the two triangles be congruent?

Yes.


Why Hypotenuse is not called Adjacent?

When considering an angle in a right angled triangle, the adjacent is the short side next to the angle and the hypotenuse is the long one (which will be opposite the right angle)

hypotenuse.


What is the ratio of the cosine of an angle?

Fora right angle triangle: cosine angle = 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.


How do you determine sine in a right triangle?

The sine of an angle in a right triangle is opposite/hypotenuse, where opposite is the only side that is not adjacent to the angle you want to find the sine of, and the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in the triangle. Just find opposite/hypotenuse.


How do you find the hypotenuse with a cosine and or sine?

For a right angle triangle:- hypotenuse = adjacent/cosine or hypotenuse = opposite/sine


How do you label sides of a right angle triangle?

A right angle triangle has an hypotenuse which is its longest side, an adjacent side and an opposite side.
