trigonometry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pythagorean theorom is for side lengths

but you probably will need it for finding some missing side

OpenStudy (amistre64):

trig defnitions; law of sine and cosines might be useful as well

i have all the side lengths i just need to know how to find the angles with the 90 degree angle but thanks
