Question 837932: In this problem I need help with finding two sides of a right triangle. One of the sides is a leg and another is the hypotenuse. I have one leg which is 8. I have the 3 degrees too which is 90 degrees, 67, and 23.
I was thinking maybe it had something to do with the Pythagorean therom. But I would need 2 sides. So that would not work.

If the only length you have is the length of one leg, but you know the measures of the angles, you need to use the trigonometric ratios:

Where is the side with length 8?
Is it adjacent to the angle or to the angle?

ADJACENT TO THE ANGLE:

and
(rounded) and (rounded)
--> (rounded)
--> (rounded)

ADJACENT TO THE ANGLE:

and
