When two sides of a right triangle are 6 and 8, the triangle is similar to a 3-4-5 right triangle. Since 6 is twice 3 and 8 is twice 4, the hypotenuse has to be twice 5 or 10.
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
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
Opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse.
Hypotenuse the longest side of the triangle, then the Legs: Adjacent and Opposite
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/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
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.
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
Nearly! The cosine is the adjacent side (ie not the opposite side) divided by the hypotenuse.
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
adjacent opposite hypotenuse
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).
sin = opposite over hypotenusecos = adjacent over hypotenusetan = opposite over adjacentcosecant = hypotenuse over oppositesecant = hypotenuse over adjacentcotangent = adjacent over opposite
Sin is opposite over hypotenuse. Just think of this to help you: SOH-CAH-TOA Sine = opposite over hypotenuse Cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse Tangent = opposite over adjacent Hope that helps you.
