1. label each side of the above triangle.
2. sine cosine and tangent are used on ___ (use word bank above).

Explanation:

1. For question 1, label sides relative to angle B (35°):

• The hypotenuse is the longest side opposite the right angle.
• The opposite side is across from angle B.
• The adjacent side is next to angle B (not the hypotenuse).

1. For question 2, sine, cosine, and tangent are trigonometric ratios defined specifically for right-angled triangles.

Answer:

1.

• Side $\overline{BC}$: Hypotenuse
• Side $\overline{AC}$: Opposite (relative to $\angle B$)
• Side $\overline{AB}$: Adjacent (relative to $\angle B$)

1. Right Triangles
