Question 975582: Is there a way to calculate leg a or b from the hypotenuse and the 90degree angle of a (Right angle) triangle?
If not, I dont understand why not, given that the hypotenuse is fixed length and must meet the end of points of leg a and b, and leg a and b are both fixed angles from the 90 degree angle.

You must know at least ONE of the legs, or at least ONE of the non-right angles.
