Question 1165273: let angle ABC be the right triangle with side opposite to the angle b=53 degrees of length 1. sketch this right triangle and solve it by finding the measures of the unknown sides and angles (note c= 90 degrees)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Draw triangle ABC where angle A is at the straight top of C,
B at bottom left, C at bottom of A forming a right angle
The length of AC = length 1
A=37°
B=53°
C=90°
Sorry I dont know how to draw here yet,
Hypotenuse is length AB
BC is adjacent to 53° or AC is opposite to 53° or

We only know three angles, and AAA triangles are impossible to solve further since there is nothing to show us size ... we know the shape but not how big it is.
Hope that helps.
