the side forming a right angle of a triangle
legs
the law gives a relation between the sine of each angle in a triangle and the lengths of the side opposite the angle
law of sines
type of triangle that the sum of th squares of the shorter side is greater than the square of the largest side
acute triangle
in a right triangle the ratio of the leg adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse
cosine ratio
in 30-60-90 triangles the length of the sides are
s, s3,2s
the angle formed by a horizontal line adn the observers line of sight to an object below the horizon line.
angle of depression
the angle formed by a horizontal line and the observers line of sight toan object obve the horizon line
angle of elevation
the side opposite the right angle of a triangle
hypotenuse
in the right triangle, the ratio of the leg opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse
sine ratio
in a right triangle the ratio of the leg opposite a given angle to the leg adjacent
tangent ration
in a 45-45-90 triangle the length of the sides are
s,s,s square root 2
three whole number values that satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.
pythagorean triple
in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the leg is equal to the square of the hypotenuse
