How do you solve a right triangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

You need two more pieces of information: either two sides, or a side and an angle.

Given two sides, the third side can be found with Pythagorean theorem, and the angles can be found with trigonometry.

Given an angle and a side, the remaining angle and sides can be found with trigonometry.

To use trigonometry to solve a right triangle, use SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent
