What is a opposite side?
The opposite side or part of something is the side or part that is furthest away from you.
How do you find the opposite side of a triangle?
If you have the hypotenuse, multiply it by sin(θ) to get the length of the side opposite to the angle. Alternatively, multiply the hypotenuse by cos(θ) to get the side adjacent to the angle. If you have the non-hypotenuse side adjacent to the angle, divide it by cos(θ) to get the length of the hypotenuse.
What do you call the side opposite the right angle of a triangle?
A right triangle is a triangle with one right angle (one angle equal to 90°). The side opposite the right angle (the longest side) is called the hypotenuse. The remaining two sides (the sides that intersect to determine the right angle) are called the legs of the right triangle.
What is an opposite side in math?
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an “opposite” side is the one across from a given angle, and an “adjacent” side is next to a given angle. We use special words to describe the sides of right triangles. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is always the side opposite the right angle.
What is opposite sides are parallel?
Parallelograms. Definition of a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.
What are opposite angles?
opposite angles Definitions and Synonyms noun plural maths. DEFINITIONS1. the angles opposite each other that are formed when two lines intersect (=cross each other)
What do you call the opposite side of an angle?
obverse. opposite side. other side. other side of the coin.
What is the opposite side of angle A?
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. It is the largest side of a right-angled triangle. If you stand at A in the triangle ABC, the side BC is opposite to you and the side AB is next to you. We therefore say that BC is the opposite side to angle A and AB is the adjacent side to angle A.
What do you call opposite angles?
Another word for opposite angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent, which means that they are equal. Adjacent angles are angles that come out of the same vertex.

What is opposite angle in math?
Opposite Angles. Opposite angles are non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. Opposite angles are congruent (equal in measure). Examples.
What is the opposite of an angle?
Opposite Angles. Opposite angles are non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. Opposite angles are congruent (equal in measure).
What is opposite in trigonometry?
What is opposite and adjacent?
What is opposite over adjacent?
A convenient mnemonic for remembering the definition of the sine, cosine, and tangent is SOHCAHTOA (sine equals opposite over hypotenuse, cosine equals adjacent over hypotenuse, tangent equals opposite over adjacent).
What does opposite mean in math?
Opposite numbers are numbers that, when placed on a number line, are the exact same distance away from the 0, but on opposite sides, or in opposite directions. They look the same except for their signs.
What does opposite direction mean?
