For a right angle triangle its hypotenuse is opposite its angle of 90 degrees and its other two angles are acute and its 3 angles add up to 180 degrees.

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse → hypotenuse = opposite/sin(angle) opposite = rise → hypotenuse = 40ft / sin 16.5° ≈ 140.84 ft
the hypotenuse is the angle that is un named..
For trigonometry if you have the value of the hypotenuse and the angle, it depends what side you are trying to find. If you are looking for the side across from the angle, the formula is sine(angle)=opposite side divided by hypotenuse. If you are looking for the side adjacent to the angle, the formula is cosine(angle)=adjacent side divided by hypotenuse. Hope this helps!
The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle in the triangle.
The hypotenuse is the largest side of a right angle triangle and it is opposite the 90 degree angle.
