in a right triangle (any triangle with a 90deg angle), the hypotenuse is opposite the 90 angle. The other two are proportional: the smaller side is opposit the smaller angle, the (next) larger side is opposite the (next) larger angle.

The sum of the squares of both sides will equal the square of the hypotenuse.

For any integer n which is greater than 2, then a^n + b^n = c^n has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c

sin of an angle = opposite side/hypotenuse
cos of an angle = adjacent side/hypotenuse
tan of an angle = opposite side/adjacent side

SOHCAHTOA

that's all you ever need to know to get through basic trigonometry.

the hypotenuse is always the longest side so now it is 5
Out of other two , the smaller angle will always have a smaller side opp. to it so now it is 3 .
U can also check if A triangle is really a right angle by summing the squares of the two smallest sides and if it equals the square of the third side , it is definitely a right triangle
3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 =25 = 5^2

The hypotenuse (5) is opposite the right-angle (90 degrees)
The shortest side (3) is opposite the smallest angle (37 degrees).
