How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when you have 2 angles (1 being the 90 degrees since it is a right triangle) and the length of 1 of the sides

Find the length of the hypotenuse by using either "sine" or "cosine".

Sine= Length of opposite side/ Hypotenuse

Cosine= Length of adjacent side/ Hypotenuse

In order to use one of these, it depends on which angle they give you other than 90 degrees.

Hope this helps!
