How do you decide which side is opposite the given acute angle of a right triangle and which side is adjacent to the given angle?
In a right triangle, the side opposite the given acute angle is the one that does not touch the angle and is directly across from it. The adjacent side is the one that is next to the angle and forms part of the angle along with the hypotenuse. To identify these sides, visualize the triangle and label the right angle, the acute angle, and then observe which sides are opposite and adjacent to the acute angle.
How do you find the measure of an acute angle if you only have the short leg and the long leg of a right triangle in trigometry?
Using trigonometry: tangent = opposite/adjacent
How many solutions are possible in a triangle of type SSA?
In a triangle with two sides and a non-included angle known (SSA), the number of possible solutions can vary. There can be zero, one, or two possible triangles depending on the specific measurements. If the angle is acute and the opposite side is shorter than the adjacent side, there could be two solutions. If the opposite side is equal to or longer than the adjacent side, there may be one solution, or none if the conditions do not allow for a triangle to be formed.
What is the tangent of a right triangle?
There is no such thing as the tangent of a triangle. Circles, angles, and conversations have tangents. In a right angled triangle, the tangent of one of the acute angles is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 cm long and the shorter leg of the triangle is 6 cm long what is the measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle?
The measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle is: 17.46 degrees.
In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.
How do you decide which side is opposite the given acute angle of a right triangle and which side is adjacent to the given angle?

How do you determine which is the adjacent side of a right triangle?
There are three sides, hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent. But the adjacent and opposite are not fixed sides: it depends on which of the two acute angles you are examining.For either of the non-right angles, the adjacent side is the one which forms the angle, along with the hypotenuse. For the given angle θ, the length of the adjacent side compared to the hypotenuse (adjacent/hypotenuse) is the cosine (cos θ).
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the opposite side acute?
Angles are acute, not sides.
What is the angle adjacent to a side equal to 23 feet and opposite a side equal to 14 feet of a right triangle?
Since the opposite side is not the longest one in the triangle, you're not describing the right angle. Knowing the lengths of the opposite side and the adjacent side of one of the acute angles allows us to immediately calculate the tangent of the angle. The tangent is (14/23) and the angle is 31.3 degrees. (rounded)
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 cm long and the shorter leg of the triangle is 6 cm long what is the measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle?
The measure of the smaller acute angle of the triangle is: 17.46 degrees.
Is the hypotenuse always opposite an acute angle?
The hypotenuse is NEVER opposite an acute angle. It's always the side of the right triangle that's opposite the right angle.
What do you do in trigonometry when you are only given the opposite and adjacent sides?
That depends what you're asked for. If you're asked for the tangent of the angle, divide (opposite)/(adjacent) . If you're asked for the hypotenuse of the triangle, it's sqrt( opposite2 + adjacent2 ) . If you're asked for the cosine of the angle, it's (adjacent)/(hypotenuse) . If you're asked for the other acute angle, it's the angle whose tangent is (adjacent)/(opposite) . If you're not asked for anything, then get your jacket, chew some gum, and go home.
In A Triangle The Smallest Angle Is?
In a triangle the smallest angle is always opposite the shortest side. It will always be an acute angle.
