Triangle The acronym "SOH-CAH-TOA" is a useful mnemonic for these ratios. The inverse trigonometric functions can be used to calculate the internal angles for a right angled triangle with the length of any two sides. Arcsin can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the opposite side and the length of the hypotenuse. Arccos can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the adjacent side and the length of the hypotenuse. Arctan can be used to calculate an angle from the length of the opposite side and the length of the adjacent side. In introductory
Right triangle legs can be expressed in terms of the inradius and the other leg as A triangle "ABC" with sides formula_13, semiperimeter "s", area "T", altitude "h" opposite the longest side, circumradius "R", inradius "r", exradii "r", "r", "r" (tangent to "a", "b", "c" respectively), and medians "m", "m", "m" is a right triangle if and only if any one of the statements in the following six categories is true. All of them are of course also properties of a right triangle, since characterizations are equivalences. The trigonometric functions for acute angles can be defined as ratios of the sides of
