Naming sides of a triangle:
- In a triangle there are three types of sides: Hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent. Naming these sides can help you find different ratios and can help with the equations of those ratios so its very important to identify these sides every time.
- an example of how to find the hypotenuse is you find the square in the corner and whatever side is opposite to that square is the hypotenuse.
- An example of how to find the opposite side is that the opposite side is always opposite to the degree sign.
- Whatever side is left is always the adjacent side.
