pythagorean therom add them both together and subtract from 180

vv LAW OF COSINE vv

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2(b)(c)CosA

Other Answer

1) If you have a perimeter you can subtract the first two from the total perimeter.

2) If it is a right triangle and you are missing the hypotenuse (the slanted one), the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used. (Words-- A squared plus B squared equals C squared.)

(A) is the length that is upright, (B) is the length that is sideways, and (C) is the hypotenuse, or the answer.

If you have a right triangle you can work that question backwards.

How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?

Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.


How do you use sine in math?

The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
