Opposite/Adjacent/Hypotenuse Identification

Front

What is the definition of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.

Front

Identify the adjacent side in relation to angle A in a right triangle.

Back

The adjacent side is the side that forms angle A with the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the definition of the opposite side in a right triangle?

Back

The opposite side is the side that is opposite to the angle being considered.

Front

In a right triangle, if angle C is 90 degrees, what is the relationship between the sides?

Back

The side opposite angle C is the hypotenuse, while the other two sides are the adjacent and opposite sides.

Front

If the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are 5, 12, and 13, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is 13.

Front

For angle A, if the adjacent side is 40, what is the relationship of the other sides?

Back

The opposite side and the hypotenuse can be determined using trigonometric ratios.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).

Front

If angle A is 30 degrees, which side is opposite to it in a right triangle?

Back

The side opposite to angle A is the opposite side.

Front

How do you determine which side is adjacent to a given angle in a right triangle?

Back

The adjacent side is the one that is next to the angle and is not the hypotenuse.

Front

In a right triangle, if the hypotenuse is 50 and one leg is 30, what is the length of the other leg?

Back

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is approximately 40.
