About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 7.11:     

 

Assignment 7.11 is an introduction to adjacent and opposite legs in right triangles.

 

Prerequisite Skills:  Identify the right angle, legs, hypotenuse, and acute angles in right triangles (Assignment 3.13).

 

Definitions:   For an acute angle in a right triangle:

                            a leg is opposite the angle if neither of its endpoints is the vertex of the angle.

                            a leg is adjacent to the angle if one of its endpoints is the vertex of the angle.
