Question

s4 match each trigonometry function with its ratio: sine cosine tangent drag & drop the answer hypotenuse opposite adjacent adjacent opposite adjacent hypotenuse hypotenuse opposite adjacent

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Sine Ratio

Sine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. So, sine matches with $\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.

Step2: Recall Cosine Ratio

Cosine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. So, cosine matches with $\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.

Step3: Recall Tangent Ratio

Tangent of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the adjacent side. So, tangent matches with $\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$.

Answer:

• sine: $\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
• cosine: $\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
• tangent: $\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$
