The measure of only one angle and one side is not sufficient to calculate the lengths of the sides of a triangle. If you have one more angle or one more side you can use the sine rule.

Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?

No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.

How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base and adjacent angle?

Height will be h=base*tan(angle).


How do you calculate sides of a right angle triangle?

With Pythagoras' theorem or trigonometry depending on the information you are given.


How many triangles exist with the given angle measures degrees 45 degrees and 90 degrees?

As many as you like because any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is always a right angle triangle.


How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?

By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base


How do you calculate an acute angle?

You can either use a protractor or, if you're given the other angles in a triangle, you can subtract them from 180. An acute angle is an angle less that 90 degrees.


How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?

If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle


What are difference between the sides of a right angle?

The side of a triangle that is opposite to 90 degree angle is called hypotenuse. The side that is opposite to the given angle (The angle that is under calculations) is called opposite. The side that is adjacent with the given angle is called base.


How do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?

If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.


What is the third angle of a triangle with two angles given as 54 degrees and 62 degrees?

The sum of a triangle's angles must always equal 180, so 54+62=116. 180-116=64. The third angle is a 64 degree angle.


How to get the area of a right triangle given only 1side?

Not possible without at least one other angle. If you have the length of one side, a ninety degree angle, and one other angle - you can work out the third angle and the lengths of the missing two sides. once you have all three side measurements, it's a simple task to calculate the area.
