Right Angled Triangle

A right angled triangle has one of its angles equal to 90^O. That is, if a triangle has one of its three angles equal to 90^O then it is a right angled triangle. A little square at the corner (angle) signifies that the angle is 90^O.

Right Angled Triangle and the Trigonometric Ratios

A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of the lengths of any two sides of a right – angled triangle. The longest side is called the Hypotenuse, the side facing the required angle is called the opposite and the last side is called the adjacent.
