The hypotenuse of a right (angled) triangle is the side opposite the right (90 degree) angle. The hypotenuse is also the longest side.The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite theThe sine of an angle is the side opposite over the hypotenuse of the triangle.
The side opposite the right angle of a right angle triangle is the hypotenuse
The Hypotenuse of the opposite of the Right Angle
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse → hypotenuse = opposite/sin(angle) opposite = rise → hypotenuse = 40ft / sin 16.5° ≈ 140.84 ft
The hypotenuse is NEVER opposite an acute angle. It's always the side of the right triangle that's opposite the right angle.
