What else can I help you with?
Can you use the tangent ratio to find the length of the hypotenuse?
No; the tangent ratio only deals with the lengths of the opposite side and adjacent side. You can square the two sides and add them together, then find the square root of the sum to find the length of the hypotenuse.
How do you know which trigonometric ratio to use when finding the measure of an angle?
Apply the 'aide memoire'. Soh , Cah, Toa. To find the Sine you apply Soh ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the hypotenuse. Cosine(Cos) you apply Cah ; so you need to known the lengths of the adjacent and the hypotenuse. Tangent(Tan) you apply Toa ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the adjacent .

What would be a situation in which the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are known but the measure of an angle is needed?
In a right triangle where the lengths of two sides are known, such as the lengths of one leg and the hypotenuse, you can use trigonometric ratios to find the measure of an angle. For example, if you know the lengths of the opposite side and the hypotenuse, you can use the sine function: (\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}). By taking the inverse sine (arcsin) of the ratio, you can calculate the angle (\theta). Similarly, you can use cosine or tangent depending on which sides you have.
What ratio do you use to find the sine of an angle in a right triangle?
Sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse

What is The cosine of an angle equals the ratio of the?
The cosine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse. Mathematically, it can be expressed as ( \cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} ). This relationship is fundamental in trigonometry and is used to find unknown side lengths or angles in right triangles.

Sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
Where is pythagorean theorem used?
To find the side lengths and hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
How do you find sine?
In a right angle triangle divide the opposite by the hypotenuse to find the sine ratio.
How do you find both legs of a triangle with only the hypotenuse?
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
What is the length of a hypotenuse?
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
How do you find the length represented the hypotenuse?
If it's a right angle triangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find its various lengths.
