Front

If you are given the two sides that are not the hypotenuse, which trig function should you use?

Back

tangent

Front

What is the definition of the tangent function in a right triangle?

Back

Tangent is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

How do you find the length of a side in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

Rearrange the theorem to solve for the missing side: c² - a² = b².

Front

What is the sine function in relation to a right triangle?

Back

Sine is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the cosine function in relation to a right triangle?

Back

Cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.
