Best Answer

Yes by means of trigonometry.

The sine, cosine, or tangent of the known acute angle

tells you the ratio of two of the sides. You can easily

arrange things so that one of them is the side you know.

The rest is just arithmetic and Pythagoras.

Determine the measure of the missing angle in the triangle below the sum of the three angles in a triangle is 180 degree?

37 degree


How do you find the measure of an angle to the nearest degree?

You can measure it. Or you can measure some other quantities (for examples, the lengths of the sides of a triangle), and calculate the angle using trigonometry.


IF you have three straight sticks of lengths 5cm 12cm 19cm Can you arrange these sticks into a triangle?

I cut out the lengths to have a visual look at the problem and the answer is NO you cannot arrange 5cm, 12cm, and 19cm into a triangle. Even straightening out the lengths of 5cm and 12cm into a 180 degree angle will not measure out to the 19cm. You cannot have a side that is more than the length of the other two sides combined in a triangle.


What triangle has 3in 4in 5in in the triangle?

If those are the lengths of the triangle's sides, then you have a "right" triangle. The angle opposite the 5-inch side is a 90-degree angle.


What kind of triangle is triangle with the angles 46 47 86 degrees?

It would be an acute-angled triangle, but it's missing a degree!


Is it true or false that the lengths of the sides of a triangle affects the size of the angles of the triangle?

no it doesn't matter what size an equalateral triangle is, it still has 60 degree angles


If one acute angle on a right triangle is forty five degrees what is the measure of the other acute angle in the triangle?

since it is a right triangle there is one 90 degree angle and another of the angles is 45 degrees. there is 180 degrees in a triangle so the missing angle is 45 degrees.


Can an equilateral triangle have a total of 120 degrees?

no because an equilateral triangle is a total of 180 degrees not 120. but if you need to find the missing angle or missing degree then yes!


How to calculate the sides of a triangle given the degree of an angle and one side?

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.


What kind of degree is a triangle?

A degree is a measure of an angle (in geometry), a triangle is a 2-dimensional object. So the question makes no sense.


What type of triangle would measure 90 degree 30 degree and 60 degree?

A right angle


What is the missing angle of triangle that has a 53 degree angle and a 34 degree angle?

the missing angle is 93 degrees. you find that out by adding 53 and 34 and then subtracting them from 180. :)
