A triangle has a hypotenuse of 1000 miles. The HEIGHT of the triangle is 31 miles. What are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle, and what are the degree measures of all the angles?
-------
Hypotenuse implies it's a right triangle.

What are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle
The height is one side of a right triangle.
To find the 3rd side, use Pythagoras.

what are the degree measures of all the angles?
One angle (call it C) is 90 degs

sin(A) = a/1000 = 31/1000
---
sin(B) = b/1000
