Identifying sides of right triangles

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

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

Front

What are the three sides of a right triangle called?

Back

The three sides of a right triangle are called the hypotenuse, opposite side, and adjacent side.

Front

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the opposite side in relation to a given angle in a right triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the adjacent side in relation to a given angle in a right triangle?

Back

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

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.

Front

If angle A is 30 degrees, what is the relationship of side BC to angle A?

Back

Side BC is the opposite side to angle A.

Front

If angle G is 45 degrees, what is the relationship of side OG to angle G?

Back

Side OG is the adjacent side to angle G.

Front

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

Back

The sides of a right triangle are defined in relation to the angles; each side is classified as opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse based on the angle being considered.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that 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).
