1. The longest side of a triangle is the hypotenuse.

True
False

1 of 5

2. I use "Tan" if I want to work with the opposite and hypotenuse.

False
True

3. Which of the following formulae are incorrect?

cos = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan = opposite / hypotenus
sin = opposite / hypotenuse

4. There is a right-angled triangle. Y to Z is the hypotenuse. Z to X is the adjacent. Z to Y is the opposite. The distance between Y and Z is 8cm and the distance between X and y is 5cm. What is angle Z?

Z = 38.7
Z = 46.6
Z = 42.2
Z = 36.5

5. There is a right-angled triangle. R to Q is the hypotenuse. Q to P is the adjacent. R to P is the opposite. The distance between R and P is 6cm and angle Q is 40 degrees. What is the distance between P and Q?

PQ = 7.08
PQ = 7.15
PQ = 6.70
PQ = 7.65

How did you get 7.15 for question 5? I tried every single TAN COS and SIN sign and I didn't get that answer for any of them?

6 / tan not 6 x tan I made the same mistake. But it's opposite / adjacent so it makes sense

question 4

y to z = hypotenuse, z to y = opposite, are you sure?, i donmt think one line can be two lines. or have i read it wrong?
