Start from the named angle

Opposite and adjacent depend on the reference vertex. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Identify opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse relative to a stated angle.

Worked example

A right triangle has opposite side 3, adjacent side 4 and hypotenuse 5. Find sin A.

3/5.

Sine is opposite divided by hypotenuse, so sin A = 3/5.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle.
  • Opposite and adjacent change when the reference angle changes.
  • Simplify the final ratio.
