Right-angled Triangles:
The Ratio of Sides
Outcome MS5.1.2
Outcome MS5.1.2
When the size of one of the other two angles in a
right-angled triangle is known, we give special
names to all three sides:
• the hypotenuse (h) is the side opposite the
right-angle
• the adjacent side (a) joins (or is next to) the
known angle to the right-angle
• the opposite side (o) is opposite (not joined)
to the known angle.
Here are some right-angled triangles. In each one there
is an angle of 40°, so the triangles are similar (same
shape), but the lengths of the sides are different.
