This ratio is the tangent of the angle.
If the triangle is a right angled triangle and the angle in question is not the right angle, then it is the tangent of the angle in question.

This ratio is called the sine ratio for a right triangle. A simple way to remember this is by using the mnemonic 'SOHCAHTOA', where SOH stands for sine equals the ratio opposite side/ hypotenuse, COH is cosine equals adjacent side/hypotenuse, and TOA is tangent equals opposite side/adjacent side.


In a right triangle the of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.?

Yes because tangent = opposite/adjacent


What angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length?

Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."


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.


What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?

It is the tangent ratio.


How do you find the unknown side of a right triangle given the length of another side and an angle?

opposite/hypotenuse = sin(x) adjacent/hypotenuse = cos(x) opposite/adjacent = tan(x) where 'x' is the angle in question.


The tangent ratio relates the length of the leg?

the opposite


Is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg?

Suppose ABC is a triangle. There is nothing in the question that requires the triangle to be right angled. Suppose AB is the side opposite to angle C and BC is a side adjacent to angle C. Then AB/BC = sin(C)/sin(A)
