What is the angle adjacent to a side equal to 23 feet and opposite a side equal to 14 feet of a right triangle?

Since the opposite side is not the longest one in the triangle, you're not describing the right angle. Knowing the lengths of the opposite side and the adjacent side of one of the acute angles allows us to immediately calculate the tangent of the angle. The tangent is (14/23) and the angle is 31.3 degrees. (rounded)

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the adjacent interior angle?
No. It is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.
How do you find the angle adjacent to the hypotenuse?
Remember SOHCAHTOA which means, the Sin of an angle is equal to the Opposite side divided by the Hypotenuse, the Cos of an angle is equal to the Adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse, and the Tangent of an angle is equal to the Opposite side divided by the Adjacent side. So as long as you have two sides of a right triangle, then you can find the angles and the length of the third side.
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)
In a right triangle can the side opposite an acute angle be shorter than the side adjacent to the angle?
Certainly. In fact, if the legs of the right triangle are not equal, then that descriptionmust be true for one of its acute angles.
What is an exterior angle measurement?
An exterior angle of a triangle is defined to be the angle between one side of a triangle and the extension of an adjacent side. The measurement of this exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. See the related links for diagrams and sample problems.
What is a triangle that has two equal sides and the angle opposite the equal sides are also equal?
an isosceles triangle
How do you find out how to write the ratio for sin X cos X and tan X in a right triangle?
For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)
What is equal to 2 angles of a triangle?
The opposite exterior angle.
How do you calculate tangent of an angle?
the tangent of an angle is equal to the length of the opposite side from the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
Exterior angle of a triangle?
Exterior Angle Theorem Exterior angle of a triangle An exterior angle of a triangle is the angle formed by a side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side. In other words, it is the angle that is formed when you extend one of the sides of the triangle to create a new line, and then measure the angle between that new line and the adjacent side of the original triangle. Each triangle has three exterior angles, one at each vertex of the triangle. The measure of each exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two interior angles that are not adjacent to it. This is known as the Exterior Angle Theorem. For example, in the triangle below, the exterior angle at vertex C is equal to the sum of the measures of angles A and B So, angle ACB (the exterior angle at vertex C) is equal to the sum of angles A and B.

What is the charateristic of the angle rhombus?
There is no such thing as an "angle rhombus". The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal, adjacent ones are supplementary.
Which triangle has one line of symmetry?
An ISOSCELES TRiangle. The line of symmetry is from the angle of the two equal adjacent sides, to the mid-point of the NON-equal side.
