Compute the following ratio: the length of the side opposite to the 37° angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Compute the following ratio: the length of the side adjacent to the 37° angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Compute the following ratio: the length of the side opposite to the 37° angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the 37° angle. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Compute the following ratio: the length of the side opposite to the 72° angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Compute the following ratio: the length of the side adjacent to the 72° angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Compute the following ratio: the length of the side opposite to the 72° angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the 72° angle. Round to the nearest thousandth.
If we were to repeat this entire activity, but use a right triangle with different angles, what do you think the result would be?
