Opposite, Adjacent, or Hypotenuse?

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

Which side is adjacent to an angle in a triangle?

Back

The adjacent side is the side that forms one of the angles of the triangle, excluding the hypotenuse.

Front

Which side is opposite to an angle in a triangle?

Back

The opposite side is the side that does not touch the angle and is across from it.

Front

In triangle ABC, if angle A is 90 degrees, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is the side opposite angle A, which is side BC.

Front

If angle T is 30 degrees in triangle MAT, which side is opposite to angle T?

Back

The side opposite to angle T is side MA.

Front

In triangle GIP, if angle G is 45 degrees, which side is adjacent to angle G?

Back

The side adjacent to angle G is side IG.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (Pythagorean theorem).

Front

If angle A is 60 degrees in triangle ABC, which side is opposite to angle A?

Back

The side opposite to angle A is side BC.

Front

In triangle MAT, if side MT is the hypotenuse, what can be said about sides MA and AT?

Back

Sides MA and AT are the legs of the triangle and are shorter than the hypotenuse MT.

Front

How do you identify the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and is the longest side.
