Question 763131: I need help in solving two missing sides (X and Y) of a right triangle. The hypotenuse side is X. The adjacent side is Y. The opposite side is 13.9. The angle located between the adjacent and hypotenuse is 52 degrees. I need to find the lengths of the sides of the adjacent and hypotenuse.

See the figure below.

For the angle 52, 13.5 is the opposite side, Y is the adjacent side, X is the hypotenuse.
13.5/hypotenuse = 13.5/X = sin(52) = 0.788
So, Hypotenuse X = 13.5/0.788 =
Similarly, 13.5/Adjacent side = 13.5/Y = tan(52) = 1.28
Adjacent side = 13.5/1.28 =
:)
