What is the name of the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg of an acute angle in a right triangle? 2b. What is the relationship between the tangent of an acute angle and the slope of the hypotenuse? 5. You have defined the tangent of an acute angle. What are the names and definitions of the other two important ratios in a right triangle? two sides A trigonometric ratio is a _______ ________ of a right ratio of the lengths of ______ cos and triangle. The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine (____), sin cosine (_____), tangent (_____). Let ΔABC be a right triangle. The sine, the cosine, and the tan tangent of the acute angle A are defined as follows. sin 𝐴 = side opposite hypotenuse side adjacent cos 𝐴 = hypotenuse side opposite tan 𝐴 = side adjacent ∠𝐴 a = c 𝑡𝑜 ∠𝐴 b = c ∠𝐴 a = 𝑡𝑜 ∠𝐴 b Soh Cah Toa 6.
