You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is true that you don't know which sides are which but worse it just says solve the triangle. What problems is the triangle having?
Marital?
It is a bad question all around.
There are many things you might do with the triangle.
If I had to choose one thing, I would probably guess I am looking for the hypotenuse, even though it does not say that.
