How to determine the hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent legs of a triangle

The video tutorial covers the basics of right triangles, focusing on the legs and hypotenuse. It introduces the concept of angles within right triangles, using the Greek symbol Theta. The tutorial explains how to identify and label the adjacent and opposite sides in relation to the angle, emphasizing the importance of correctly labeling triangles for trigonometric calculations.

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

• The side opposite the right angle

• The side adjacent to the right angle

• The longest side of the triangle

• The shortest side of the triangle

What symbol is used to represent an angle in trigonometry?

• Beta

• Alpha

• Gamma

• Theta

Which side of a right triangle is always constant regardless of the angle?

• Adjacent side

• Opposite side

• Hypotenuse

• Base

How is the adjacent side of a right triangle defined?

• The side between the right angle and the given angle

• The side opposite the angle

• The longest side of the triangle

• The side opposite the right angle

What is the opposite side in a right triangle?

• The side adjacent to the angle

• The side opposite the angle

• The base of the triangle

• The hypotenuse
