what is the angle measure of a triangle with a hieght of 5 a hypotenuse of 14 and i would like the angle measure of eith the two missing angle measures, it is a right triangle with the right angle at the bottom of the triangle

We have a right triangle.
Given:
hypotenuse = 14
height = 5
You need to use one of the trig functions to find one of the missing angles.
sinx = 5/14
Go to your calculator and type the fraction 5/14 and then press the sine function. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
Once you find one of the missing angles, you will be able to find the other by SUBTRACTING the angle that you will find from 90 degrees.

The angle opposite the 5: sine = 5/14 = 0.2857
Angle = about 17 degrees

The angle opposite the height (5) =sine -1 5/14 = 20*-55'-12"
ergo : the other angle = 180* - (90* + 20* -55' - 12" )
= 180* - 110* -55' 12"
= 69*-04'-48"
