In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.
What is a cosine ratio?
In a right angle triangle it is: cosine ratio = adjacent/hypotenuse
What are the sides of a triangle called?
Given the reference perspective of a specific angle the sides are are the adjacent sides and the opposite side If we have a right triangle the longest side (opposite the right angle) is the hypotenuse.
What is the name for the longest side of a right angled triangle?
It is called the hypotenuse. The adjacent side is beneath it and the opposite side opposite it.
What is a cosign in math?
If you mean cosine then it is angle ratio found in a right angle triangle which is adjacent/hypotenuse
What is the definition of the tangent ratio for a right triangle?
The tangent ratio for a right angle triangle is opposite/adjacent.
In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.
What is the correct trigonometric ratio is for tan?
For a right angle triangle the trigonometrical ration is: tangent = opposite/adjacent
In a right triangle what is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
The ratio is called the tangent of the angle. (also equal to sine/cosine)
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base
What is the name for the sides of a right triangle that are adjacent to the right angle?
Opposite and adjacent sides.
What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the leg adjacent to the angle?
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.
In a right triangle the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse?
is called the cosine ratio
What is a cosine ratio?
In a right angle triangle it is: cosine ratio = adjacent/hypotenuse
How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?
The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.
What is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle?
That's the cosine of the angle to which the 'adjacent' side is adjacent.
The ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle?
cosine
