You can't.

The two coordinates define one line, one side of the triangle. You also have an angle. That's two pieces of information.

Defining a triangle takes three pieces of information. Each can be a length or an angle in any combination, but you've got to have three. (All three coordinates would work too.)

I'll bet that doesn't feel any better. Sorry. :)

Find the third coordinates, when two coordinates are known.

There are three angles to a triangle

Angle A, B and C.

Let angle A coordinates (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)

Let angle B coordinates (x₂, y₂) = (6, 8)

Angle C coordinates (x₂, y₁)

x₂= 6, y₁= 4

The third coordinates becomes (6, 4)

Adam is right. You can't. You need to know the length of two lines and an angle. Two coordinates only give you one line, which is insufficient information.

Use pythagoras theorem
Draw a triangle place the coordinate
Use a^ 2 = b^ 2 +c^ 2
or using sin, cos, tan
