Question 410086: I have several problems where I am given a right triangle with the length of one side and an angle, and asked to solve for the length of the other sides in 'simplest radical form'. For example, one prolem gives me sides c and d, with a hypotenuse of 10, and an angle of 30 degrees. Since it is a right triangle, I know that the other two angles are 90 degrees and 60 degrees, but I don't know how to find the sides!

I don't remember much of my trig any more, but this is a classic 3, 4, 5 triangle.
So the answer is 6, 8, 10
