You use the law of Pythagoras: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and be are the sides adjacent to the right angle, and c is the side opposite. Replace the two sides that you know, and solve for the third one.
Pythagoras: hypotenuse squared = sum of squares of other two sides.
If you know two of the sides you can calculate the third as above.

What right triangle has legs of equal length?
A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.
How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?
180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.
In a right triangle the sine of any angle is?
The longest side of the right angles triangle is called the hypotenuse. Divide the length of the side opposite the chosen angle by the length of the hypotenuse. This is the Sine of the angle.
How do you find the angle of a right triangle with the length of two legs?
-- Like every triangle, a right triangle has three interior angles.-- Unlike any other triangle, one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.The other two are both acute angles.-- One acute angle is the angle whose cosine is length of one leg / length of hypotenuse-- Other acute angle is the angle whose sine is length of the same leg / length of the hypotenuse-- The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of [ (length of one leg)2 + length of other leg)2 ]
What is the name of A triangle with sides of no equal length?
A triangle with no right angle and sides of different lengths is a scalene triangle.
