What are the parts of a right triangle

The video tutorial explains the components of a right triangle, including the hypotenuse and legs. It highlights the importance of identifying adjacent and opposite sides based on the angle of reference, which is crucial for applying the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry. The tutorial emphasizes understanding these parts to effectively use mathematical concepts in geometry.

What is a right triangle?

• A triangle with no right angles

• A triangle with two right angles

• A triangle with one right angle

• A triangle with all angles equal

How is the right angle in a triangle typically denoted?

• With a square

• With a circle

• With a line

• With a triangle

In a right triangle, what is the side opposite the right angle called?

• Hypotenuse

• Base

• Opposite side

• Adjacent side

What do we call the side of a right triangle that is between the angle and the 90-degree angle?

• Opposite side

• Hypotenuse

• Adjacent side

• Base

Why is it important to identify the adjacent and opposite sides in trigonometry?

• To calculate the area of the triangle

• To determine the type of triangle
