You can put this solution on YOUR website!
it depends on what you're trying to solve for.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is it the hypotenuse or is it the opposite side?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you are given a right triangle, then you have a 90 degree angle and two other angles that are acute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can find the sine, cosine, or tangent of any of those other two acute angles by using trigonometry.\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is 50 the length of the adjacent side?
\n" ); document.write( "is 86 the angle that has 50 as the adjacent side?
\n" ); document.write( "which other side of the triangle are you trying to solve for?
\n" ); document.write( "is the triangle a right triangle or some other type of triangle?\r
