Could I find the two missing side lengths of a right triangle if I only know one side length and one angle measure (other than the 90 degree angle)? ((HOW))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it's possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, no you need 3 pieces on info. as far as I know, actually.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only then can you use either the sine or cosine law. Unless you measure a side length. ;D

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Actually yes, it is possible. As it is given as a right angle triangle with one side length and another angle (other than the 90), u got 1 side n 2 angles (90+the other). So u can solve for all sides n angles :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol oops other than 90, I didn't read that properly.
