In this right triangle, you are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c, and one leg, b. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle. To find the length of leg a, substitute the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem. Solve for a2.:-) :-) :-) --
Example
Step 1 The two sides we know are Adjacent (6,750) and Hypotenuse (8,100).
Step 2 SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Cosine.
Step 3 Calculate Adjacent / Hypotenuse = 6,750/8,100 = 0.8333.
Step 4 Find the angle from your calculator using cos-1 of 0.8333::-) :-) :-)
