Thanks @freckles

Answer 21

How would I find a angle?

Answer 22

do you know how to determine what side is opp and what side is the adj to the angle being asked about? or do you even know what the hyp of a right triangle is?

Answer 23

the hyp is the longest side of a triangle...it is the side that can always be found opposite to the 90 degree angle (opp->it doesn't touch the angle)

the opp of the angle in question will not touch the angle being asked about
by process of elimination this should tell you what the adjacent side is

Answer 24

Yes, the hyp is 41

Answer 25

process of elimination tells us this side is the adj
