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.

How do you find perimeter of triangle whose two sides are given and also angles are not given?
One can't. The angle between those is needed.

How do you find the range of a triangle?
to find the range of values of triangle. Add the value of the sides of the given sides...is it?
How do you find out the height of a triangle if only the 3 angles are given?
It is impossible to find a triangle if only angle measures are given (all similar triangles have the same angles).
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.
How do you find the two sides of a right triangle given only the hypotenuse?
To find the two sides you must have more information than just the hypotenuse. You must have one of the other sides or one of the angles besides the 90o angle.
How do you find angles on a right triangle?
You do not need to, if you have a right triangle that angle is 90* so the other 2 angles are 45* apiece. That is actually only partially accurate. There can be a right angled triangle with sides of 2-3-5. 5 being the hypotenuse in which the triangle's angles will not be 90-45-45 but 90-33.69-56.31. To find the angles of a right triangle, you will need to know the length of the sides. With the length of all three sides, you will need to utilize sine, cosine, and tangent to find the angles.
How do i find the Angles in an isosceles triangle?
isoselceles triangel is tow sides areequal
How do you find the lengths of the legs of an isoceles triangle when given the angle?
With only the angle provided, you cannot find the lengths of the sides. The reason for this is that the isosceles triangle can be scaled up or down. If you had an isosceles triangle with a vertex of, say, 20 degrees, the other two angles would be 80 degrees each. This triangle could be constructed with the pair of congruent sides 10 centimeters long, 10 feet long, 10 miles long, or any length, and it would still have the same angles in its construction. Angles alone are insufficient to discover the length of the sides of an isosceles triangle.
