For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)

How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?

If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.


How do you find the hypotenuse of triangle?

If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
