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?

Then someone has been misusing the words. The legs are the two sides of a right triangle that meet to form the right angle; the terms 'adjacent' and 'opposite' each refer exclusively to one of these sides based on which of the other two angles you are focusing on.

Eh, there is no ambiguity. We all know what is meant by 'line' here.
