6.02 Trigonometric ratios
For the following triangles, name the hypotenuse:
Consider the following triangle:
State the opposite side to angle \theta.
State the adjacent side to angle \theta.
State the opposite side to angle \alpha.
State the adjacent side to angle \alpha.
State the angle that is opposite the hypotenuse.
With reference the angle \theta, find the value of these ratios for each of the following triangles:
\dfrac{\text{Opposite }}{\text{Adjacent }}
\dfrac{\text{Opposite }}{\text{Hypotenuse }}
\dfrac{\text{Adjacent }}{\text{Hypotenuse }}
