/.The side next to the reference angle is called the ? side. - Answer-Adjacent
, /.Since the ratios for sides of triangles are the same, when the angles are the same, ?
have been developed which show these ratios for every angle encountered in a triangle.
- Answer-trigonometric tables
/.The sine of θ is equal to the ? divided by the ? . - Answer-opposite / hypotenuse
/.The cos θ is equal to the ? side divided by the ? . - Answer-adjacent / hypotenuse
/.The tan θ is equal to the ? side divided by the ? side. - Answer-opposite / adjacent
/.What will happen if the time is not taken to properly measure and lay out a job before
trying to bend conduit? - Answer-I. Additional labor to re-bend
II. Conduit may need to be bent multiple times as a result of inaccurate measurements
IV. Increased amount of scrapped conduit
/.The only viable method to reduce the material cost itself is to reduce waste, and the
only practical way of doing that is to be skilled in measuring, calculating, and laying out
the conduit bends. - Answer-True
/.What tool can be used to prevent an off-axis between bends in an offset (dog-legs)? -
Answer-No-dog level

/.Match the conduit/size with the appropriate protective cap. - Answer-1/2" Rigid Metal
Conduit (RMC) → Black
3/4" Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) → Red
1" Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) → Blue
/.According to NEC Section ? , ? shall not be threaded. - Answer-358.28(B) / EMT
/.Which types of conduit are typically threaded in order to couple them together or
connect them to boxes or fittings? - Answer-I. IMC

bend when the conduit is horizontal and the handle is pulled up so that the handle is
vertical or plumb. - Answer-True
Note: There are too many variables to rely solely upon the position of the bender handle
to determine the angle of bend. Each bender should be checked initially to verify the
accuracy of the bender markings and the take-up value.
