Parts of a Right Triangle

Front

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is the side directly across from the right angle.

Front

In relation to angle θ, what is the side opposite to θ called?

Back

The side opposite to angle θ is called the Opposite side.

Front

In relation to angle θ, what is the side adjacent to θ called?

Back

The side adjacent to angle θ is called the Adjacent side.

Front

How can you identify the hypotenuse of any right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is the side directly across from the right angle.

Front

What are the three sides of a right triangle called?

Back

The three sides are called the Hypotenuse, Opposite, and Adjacent.

Front

If side a is opposite to angle θ, what is side b in relation to θ?

Back

Side b is the Adjacent side to angle θ.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle and the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

If the hypotenuse is 10 units and one side is 6 units, how do you find the other side?

Back

Use the Pythagorean theorem: b² = c² - a².

Front

What is the formula for finding the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

The formula is c = √(a² + b²).
