What are the three sides of a right triangle called?
adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse
Where is the longest side of the right triangle located?
the longest side of a right angle is called the hypotenuse. In trigonometry it is the side that is opposite the adjacent. -----------|\ -----------| \ Adjacent-| -\ hypotenuse (longest side) -----------|- \ -----------|__ \ ---------opposite
How To Use SohCahToa?
Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
How do you solve sohcahtoa?
It means for any right angle triangle:- sine = opposte/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse tangent = opposite/adjacent
How do you find the hypotenuse with a cosine and or sine?
For a right angle triangle:- hypotenuse = adjacent/cosine or hypotenuse = opposite/sine
What are the sides other than the hypotenuse of a triangle called?
opposite and adjacent

Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
The cosine of an angle equals the ratio of the?
adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
In a right triangle the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse?
is called the cosine ratio
What is the opposite side of an adjacent?
The opposite side of an adjacent is the hypotenuse. Sin(q) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos(q) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan(q) = Opposite / Adjacent Reference: http://easycalculation.com/trigonometry/triangle-angles.php
Is the cosine adjacent to the hypotenuse?
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
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).
Definition of the 6 trigonometric functions?
The six main trigonometric functions are sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse tan(x)=opposite/adjacent csc(x)=hypotenuse/opposite cot(x)=adjacent/opposite sec(x)=hypotenuse/adjacent Where hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent correspond to the three sides of a right triangle and x corresponds to an angle in that right triangle.
What is sahcahtoa?
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
