formulas

Given any right triangle, if you know one side length and one angle's degrees, you can solve the triangle using the Sine, Cosine, or Tangent formulas.

All three formulas apply to the triangle, but due to what information we know about the triangle, we typically chose only one. Which one depends on what information we know about the triangle.



Please see "Solving a Right Triangle" unit for help to get your solutions.
