cos = adjacent / hypotenuse
Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
It depends on which leg is 850... If the leg on the bottom is 850, then you do 850/cos(20) (which gives you 904.55), if it is the leg on the side, then you do 850/sin(20) (which gives you 2485.233). You get this by solving for the formula Cos(Angle)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, or Sin(Angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse.
Cos(58) = 4/Hypotenuse so H = 4/Cos(58) = 7.55 units.
