to solve for leg and hypotenuse if u have leg of feet, you need to know either hypotenuse or leg
then you can us Pythagoras theorem: where is hypotenuse and and are legs

Csn u solve for leg b and hypotenuse if u have leg A of 85 feet
------------
Knowing one leg is not sufficient.
To solve for 3 Sides and 3 Angles, you have to know:
SSS, SSA, or SAA
---
If you know it's a right triangle, then you know one angle is 90 degrees.
--------------------
You can solve it if you know AAA and the Perimeter, too.
