Question 1046489: This is an easy one. A triangle has a hypotenuse of 1000 miles. The HEIGHT of the triangle is 31 miles. What are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle, and what are the degree measures of all the angles? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A triangle has a hypotenuse of 1000 miles. The HEIGHT of the triangle is 31 miles. What are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle, and what are the degree measures of all the angles?
-------
Hypotenuse implies it's a right triangle.
---
What are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle
The height is one side of a right triangle.
To find the 3rd side, use Pythagoras.

----
what are the degree measures of all the angles?
One angle (call it C) is 90 degs
---
sin(A) = a/1000 = 31/1000
---
sin(B) = b/1000
