Trigonometric Functions

Right Triangle Trigonometry

• The HYPOTENUSE is directly across from the right angle.

• The OPPOSITE side is directly across from the referenced angle.

• The ADJACENT side is the last side. It is the side that touches the angle, but isn't the hypotenuse.

​

​Sides of a Right Triangle

The referenced angle could be indicated by the Greek symbol "theta", by an arc marking it, or by a measure placed in the figure. It could also be marked with an "x" or other variable if you're expected to use trig to find its measure.
