Scalene triangle with 90, 75, abd 15 degree angles.
\n" ); document.write( "Shortest side is 5 inches
\n" ); document.write( "What are the other two side lengths?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's a right triangle, so that makes it easier.
\n" ); document.write( "The short side is opposite the small angle, 15º, so 5 = hyp*sin(15)
\n" ); document.write( "hyp = 5/sin(15) = 19.3185...
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The tan(15) = 5/side 3, so the 3rd side is 5/tan(15)
\n" ); document.write( "Side 3 = 18.660...
\n" ); document.write( "As a check use Pythagoras:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18.88%5E2+%2B+5%5E2+=+19.3185%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So it's correct.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
