6.8 Are Relationships Predictable

Below is a right triangle with one angle of 60°. Change the size of the triangle and record the side lengths.
Length of adjacent side:
Length of opposite side:
Length of hypotenuse:
Now find the following ratios
[math]\frac{opposite\underscore side}{hypotenuse}[/math]
[math]\frac{adjacent\underscore side}{hypotenuse}[/math]
[math]\frac{opposite\underscore side}{adjacent\underscore side}[/math]
Now adjust the size of your triangle and get the new measurements.
Length of adjacent side:
Length of opposite side:
Length of hypotenuse:
...and find the new ratios
[math]\frac{opposite\underscore side}{hypotenuse}[/math]
[math]\frac{adjacent\underscore side}{hypotenuse}[/math]
[math]\frac{opposite\underscore side}{adjacent\underscore side}[/math]
