Answer to Question #146193 in Trigonometry for Raffy

Question

1. If hypotenuse c is taken as the middle part, identify the two adjacent parts and two opposite parts

Answer 1

It is a bit confused question that most people answer this question wrong. And also I will try to explain my answer below:

Firstly, we need to recognise that what is the question going about and what are adjacent and opposite parts.

if we think that a is an adjacent part to the c, then they should cross each other at least one point otherwise they are considered as opposite parts.

In this case, we have only two adjacent parts and no opposite parts. Becouse a and b across c (hypotenuse) and so they are considered as adjecent parts.

Look picture which is mentioned below, in order to be more clarify:

Answer: there are 2 adjacent parts and no opposite parts to c (hypotenuse).
