The longest side of the right angles triangle is called the hypotenuse. Divide the length of the side opposite the chosen angle by the length of the hypotenuse. This is the Sine of the angle.

How do you solve sohcahtoa?

It means for any right angle triangle:- sine = opposte/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse tangent = opposite/adjacent


What kind of triangle that has 2 acute and 1 right angle?

That would be a right triangle. Any triangle that has a right angle in it is a right triangle.


What is the equation for finding sinθ and what is this usually going to tell us?

For a right angle triangle sine or sin angle = opposite/hypotenuse y = sinθ, for any angle θ, -1 ≤ sinθ ≤ 1.


Does an isosceles triangle have a right angle?

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. A right triangle is any triangle with one angle that is a right angle. A right triangle could also be an isosceles triangle, but an isosceles triangle will not always have a right angle.


What do you call A triangle with a 90 degrees angle?

Any triangle with a 90 degree angle is called a right triangle.


What does sine theta mean?

Theta is just a Greek letter used to denote measurement of angle. Sine is a trigonometric function, i.e., the ratio of the side opposite to the angle theta to the hypotenuse of the triangle. So Sine theta means the value of sine function for angle theta, where theta is any angle.


What do you do in trigonometry?

usually its used to find a missing angle or length of a right triangle. Of course there is more to trigonometry. any way you can use sine, cosine, and tangent, to fine the missing angle or length

Does an isosceles triangle have right angles?

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. A right triangle is any triangle with one angle that is a right angle. A right triangle could also be an isosceles triangle, but an isosceles triangle will not always have a right angle.


Can trigonometry be used with right triangles only?

No, trigonometry can be used with any triangle, right angle or not. While the primary trigonometric functions are defined in relation to right triangles with hypoteneuse equal to 1, that is just a special case where the function is easier to define. Sine (theta), for instance, is opposite over hypotenuse, where the angle on the other end of adjacent is a right angle. Even if you don't have a right angle, the functions can help you find a superposition of a right triangle on any triangle, and that can help you solve many different kinds of problems. The laws of sines and cosines, for instance, apply to any triangle.
