You measure them. If you want to calculate them, you need some information on which to base your measurements. For example, if you only know the length of one side, you don't have enough information. In general you need three items of information about a triangle, to be able to calculate the remaining triangle - and sometimes, even that isn't enough.

How do you find the measurement of one side on a triangle if you know the other two?

To find the measurement of one side of a triangle when you know the other two sides, you can use the Law of Cosines if you also know the included angle. The formula is ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cdot \cos(C) ), where ( c ) is the side opposite angle ( C ), and ( a ) and ( b ) are the other two sides. If the triangle is a right triangle, you can simply use the Pythagorean theorem: ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ).
