You can put this solution on YOUR website!
where is the angle compared to the side that is 15?
We need a bit more information to solve, but in general, you will use your trig stuff (SOH CAH TOA/Pythagorean Theorem--- for right angled triangles) to find the base and height. If you get us a bit more information we can help a bit more though:)
