How to find the angles of a right triangle when i only have one angle and 1 side?

Question

Angle=90 degrees
Side=85m

the side given is the hypotenuse

Answer 1

accuallt the other answers ARE right. The other angles are both 45 degrees. the other sides would be 85m and approx. 120m

Answer 2

enginerd is correct, but he wasn't watching when you said the 85m was the hypotenuse.

Think of the H as a ladder leaning up against a high building. The angles formed with the ground and the side of the building can be any angle you want within the range between 0 and 90.

Answer 3

A triangle has 6 items , 3 angles and 3 sides.
To make triangle figure complete you at least 3 items.

To draw a right triangle you need two more items, as one angle is 90 degree.

Answer 4

there are an infinite number of triangles with one 90 degree angle and one 85 meter side

think about it

draw a 90 degree angle

if you make a short vertical line from the 90 and then a long horizontal line with an 85 meter hypoteneuse, you will have a wide short triangle

if you make a longer vertical line, you can still have an 85 meter hypenteneuse, but it will be a taller, less wide triangle

you cannot calculate a specific value for the other sides and angles because there are infinite number of possibilites

Answer 5

in ambiguous cases and assuming absinA seens in this case only angle C and side c is given so draw another angle (a flag being supported by two ropes both measuring 85 long) when u combine this two angles they form an isosceles triangle. You know that isosceles triangles have two both equal side lenght and angles, in this case 45 degree seens c=square root of 2 a=1 b=1.

Answer 6

A right triangle always have the angles of 90-45-45.

Answer 7

OK, these previous answers are totally wrong. If you only know one angle and one side, you cannot find the other angles. Or the other sides.

Answer 8

angles:45 degrees
