Question 658839: a triangular piece of land is bounded on the south and east by 2 streets that intersect at a right angle. the length of the south and east boundaries 60 and 35 m, respectively. find the length of the third side and its bearing from westward corner.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! see the picture.
use tan(x) to find the angle.
use the angle to find the length of the hypotenuse.
tan(x) = opposite / adjacent
sin(x) = opposite / hypotenuse
all required calculations are in the diagram.
