I have developed a new hatred for triangles

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-10 16:24

I have a triangle. It is a right triangle. The only side that has a known length is the hypotenuse. The other two angles are known. How do I determine the legth of the other two sides without knowing the sine, cosine, or tangent; OR if these are nescesary, how do I determine them with only the knowledge of the angles?

>>22
If your using sine to determine if the length of the other leg is valid, then the first line MUST be the hypotenuse.


>>25
Given your agument alone it stands that the line you are refering to could be either. And note that if you are using the adjacent side that is NOT the hypotenuse you wouldn't be able to use sine. So if you are the one who posted >>21, and your argument is that you can use either side, you are incorrect in that statement.
