I have a simple trigonometry problem. If I can find the answer WITHOUT USING A SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR (ie: cosine or sine buttons), it will help me greatly to become independant of electronic devices on my sailboat. Here it is: In a right triangle, if I know the length of the hypotenuse, and all three angles are known, what is the formula for finding the length of either of the other 2 sides? Standard labelling please... c=hyp,a=vertical side, b=horizontal side, angle A opposite side a, B opposite b, C opposite c. Thanks again. ray. </SPAN>\n" );
