Adjacent: adjacent (next to) the angle θ
Opposite: opposite the angle θ
Hypotenuse: longest side (and opposite the right angle)
To use this page:
Opposite: opposite the angle θ
Hypotenuse: longest side (and opposite the right angle)
To use this page:
- Determine what is given: for example an angle
(Theta) and a side (such the adjacent side) - Find the match (there are only six possiblities)
- Enter the values and press the "Show" button
- Only put in numbers and a decimal point
- The Hypotenuse is ALWAYS the longest side
- All angles (except the right angle itself)
are less than 90 degrees - Put in garbage, you'll get out garbage
