Question

What would the triangle look like if the adjacent leg/ hypotenuse ratio was 1? Greater than 1?

Answer 1

• If the adjacent leg/hypotenuse ratio is 1, then the adjacent leg would have the same length as the hypotenuse. This would result in a right triangle where both legs have the same length, forming a 45-degree angle.
• If the adjacent leg/hypotenuse ratio is greater than 1, then the adjacent leg would be longer than the opposite leg. This would result in a right triangle that is wider at the base, with a smaller acute angle opposite the shorter leg and a larger acute angle opposite the longer leg. The exact shape of the triangle would depend on the specific ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse.
