What is the definition of a right triangle?
A triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.
True or False: The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
True
What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The side opposite the right angle, and the longest side of the triangle.
Fill in the blank: The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the ______ side to the hypotenuse.
adjacent
What is the Pythagorean theorem?
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
What are the primary trigonometric ratios?
Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.
True or False: The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side.
False
What is the formula for sine in a right triangle?
sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse
What is the formula for cosine in a right triangle?
cos(θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse
