At a known side and an acute angle of a right triangle, the hypotenuse can be equal to the ratio of the leg to the cosine/sine of that angle if the given angle is opposite him/yard:
h = C1(or C2)/sinα;
h = C1(or C2)/cosα.
Example: suppose that we are given right triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB and a right angle C. Let angle B equal 60 degrees, and angle a of 30 degrees Length of side BC is 8 cm Need to find the length of the hypotenuse AB. For this you can use any of the above methods:
AB = BC/cos60 = 8 cm.
AB = BC/sin30 = 8 cm.
h = C1(or C2)/sinα;
h = C1(or C2)/cosα.
