How do you determine which side of a right-angled triangle is the Hypotenuse?
The longest Side
The side opposite the right angle
When using Pythagoras Theorem, the shorter sides are labeled with what letters?
a or b
When using Trigonometry, the side length across from the angle is called?
Opposite
When using Trigonometry, the Hypotenuse is labeled with what letter?
c
When using Trigonometry, the side length across from the 90 degree angle is labeled with what letter?
c
Rearrange Pythagoras Theorem (a^2=b^2+c^2) , to make c the subject
c=sqrt(b^2+c^2)
When using Pythagoras Theorem, what is the formula to calculate side a?
a=sqrt(c^2-b^2
When using Pythagoras Theorem, what is the formula to calculate side b?
b=sqrt(c^2-a^2
sin (A)=
a / c
cos(A)=
b/c
