No, but it is close.

The pythagorean theorem for right trianles is

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

12^2 + 15^2 = 369

z = 19.21, not quite 20

What is the ratios function of sin?

The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.In terms of ratios, the sine of an angle is defined, in a right angled triangle, as the ratio of lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

How do you find the side length on a triangle with one angle given?

To find side lengths on a triangle, you need to know at least one of the sides. The possible combinations for solving* a triangle are: side, side, side; side, angle, side; angle, side, angle; angle, side, longer side. *To solve a triangle is to find the lengths of all the sides and the measures of all the angles.
