Which side is the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle?
A
The longest side, opposite the right angle.
B
Every angle satisfies the identity sin2θ+cos2θ=1\boxed{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1}sin2θ+cos2θ=1.
C
- sin60∘=32\sin60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}sin60∘=23
- cos60∘=12\cos60^\circ=\frac12cos60∘=21
- tan60∘=3\tan60^\circ=\sqrt3tan60∘=3
D
For an acute angle, cosθ=\cos\theta=cosθ= adjacenthypotenuse\boxed{\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}hypotenuseadjacent.
