Must label the sides A Hypotenuse- across from the right angle From the marked angle… Opposite – across from the marked angle B C Adjacent – next to the marked angle
Right triangle trig ratios:x is an acute angle • Sin x = length of opposite side = o length of hypotenuse h • Cos x = length of adjacent side = a length of hypotenuse h • Tan x = length of opposite side = o length of adjacent side a
Remember it this way: SOH CAH TOA Find sinC C hypotenuse 1st Mark the angle given 13 12 2nd Label the triangle, opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse adjacent 3rd Use your trig ratios: A B 5 so opposite
