Trigonometry is the field of math that deals with triangles. In order to calcluate them you must have at LEAST one side and one angle, or two sides. Just two angles will not provide enough information to calculate the length of the sides because an infininte number of triangles could have the same slope, but just be larger or smaller than similar triangles.
When dealing with "right angles" (one of the angles = 90 degrees), it gets a little simpler. Check out these articles for a simple free tool and tutorial that will make "right angle" trig simple enough for ANYBODY to understand!

How do you find the length of the other two sides of a triangle when given a hypotenuse?
Unless you are given atleast 2 other angles, there is no way to find them out.
Can you find all sides of a right triangle given only two angles?
No. If you only know angles, you can't find any sides.Millions of triangles can all have the same angles. In fact, an infinite number of them can.
Are trigonometric functions used to find the acute angles of a right triangle?
they can be, depending on the information that you are given. If you know lengths of sides, then YES.
How do you find the area of a triangle when given 3 angles and the perimeter?
If you know the lengths of 2 sides and the included angle then use: Area of a triangle = 1/2*a*b*sinC
What does it mean to ''solve a triangle''?
It means to find all of its sides and angles.
