Where can you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
the hypotenuse is the side of the right triangle that is opposite of the 90 degree angle. To figure out the length of the hypotenuse you can use a2 + b2 = c2 (if you know the length of the other two sides) If you don't that you can probably use the sine or the cosine equation. (as long as you know at least one of the angles)
What can you say about the sides of a triangle opposite the largest angle?
The side of a triangle opposite the largest angle is the side of greatest length. It is also known as the Hypotenuse.
How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
Why is the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle and is opposite the right angle. It is always longer than the other two sides of the triangle. This is because the length of the hypotenuse is determined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
A 30-60-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 44. What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?
I assume your 90 degree angle is on the right and the 30 degree angle is opposite that. ( degree mode ) sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse sin 30 degrees = opp./44 = 22
If the shortest leg of a 30 degree 60 degree 90 degree triangle has length 7 the length of the hypotenuse is?
In general call the shortest side a and remember this is always the side opposite the 30 degree angle. Then the other leg/side has length a(square root 3) and the hypotenuse has length 2a.So in the case of a=7, the hypotenuse has length 14.
If you divide length of the opposite side of an angle in a right triangle by the length of the hypotenuse what value do you get?
You get the sine of the angle. For a right triangle: sin (x) = opposite/hypotenuse cos (x) = adj./hypotenuse tan (x) = opposite/adj
Is it true the sine ratio relates the length of the leg the angle that is in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
Yes... opposite an angle of a right triangle to the length of the triangle's hypotenuse.
In a right triangle the ratio of the length of the side opposite an acute angle to the length of the hypotenuse?
sin θ : 1 = the length of opposite side to angle θ : the length of the hypotenuse
The hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 19 What is the length of the side opposite the 60 angle?
If the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle has a length of 19, the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle is: 16.45. (the other leg would be 9.5)sine 60 degrees = opposite/hypotenuseOpposite = 19*sine 60 degreesOpposite = 16.45448267 or 16.45 units to two decimal places
What is the ratios function of sin?
The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.In terms of ratios, the sine of an angle is defined, in a right angled triangle, as the ratio of lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree?
It's 1/2 of the length of the hypotenuse.
Where can you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
the hypotenuse is the side of the right triangle that is opposite of the 90 degree angle. To figure out the length of the hypotenuse you can use a2 + b2 = c2 (if you know the length of the other two sides) If you don't that you can probably use the sine or the cosine equation. (as long as you know at least one of the angles)
What ratio of the opposite leg length to the hypotenuse length?
its the cosine.. thanks to the dude up there i got it wrong and that was my answer for 4.1.3.
Find hypotenuse only using opposite and angle?
In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.
The lentgh of the hypotenuse of a 30 -60 degree right triangle is 7.5 meters find the length of the opposite side of the 30 degree angle?
It is: 7.5*sin(30) = 3.75 meters
