How do you know if your solving for the leg or the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse will always be longer than the other sides.
Hypotenuse and what are the other sides called?
In a right triangle, the longest side ... the one opposite the right angle ... is the hypotenuse. The other two sides are called "legs".
How can you identify the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
A right triangle, by definition, has a right (or 90o) angle. The side that is opposite that right angle is the hypotenuse. That is to say, the other two sides, which are not the hypotenuse, are the two sides which meet at a right angle.
Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
How do you find the two shorter sides of a triangle when all you know if the hypotenuse and nothing else?
If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
