\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Call the leg a
\n" ); document.write( "a = 58*cos(51)
\n" ); document.write( "===================\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Once you have the answer, find two ways to calculate the length of the other leg. They should both give the same answer.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "They should both give the same answer. --- as opposed to only 1 giving the same answer?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Try \"They should give the same answer.\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The other side (call it b) is 58*sin(51)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "And b^2 = 58^2 - a^2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
