Instruction
1
Use the following notation for ease of preparation of the formulas necessary for calculations: c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle; a, b are the legs that form a right angle, A is the acute angle opposite sides of b; B is the acute angle opposite of side a.
2
Calculate what is the length of the unknown side of the triangle. Apply for computing the Pythagorean theorem. Calculate the side a, if the known values of the hypotenuse c and leg b. To do this, subtract the square of the hypotenuse c, the square of side b and then calculate the square root of the result.
3
Calculate side b, if the known values of the hypotenuse c and a leg. To do this, subtract the square of the hypotenuse c, the square of side a, and then calculate the square root of the result.
4
Calculate the value of the hypotenuse c, if there are two sides. This will get the sum of the squares of the legs a and b and then calculate the square root of the result and, if necessary, rounded to four decimal places.
5
Calculate the sine of the angle A according to the formula sinA = a/c. Use for calculations the calculator. Rounded, if necessary, the value of the sine of the angle A to four decimal places.
6
Calculate the sine of the angle B by the formula sinB = b/c. Use for calculations the calculator. Rounded, if necessary, the value of the sine of the angle B to four decimal places.
7
Find the angles A and B by the values of their sines. Use to determine the values of the angles of table VIII four-digit mathematical tables Bradis. Find in this table the values of sine. Move from values to the left and the first column "And" take a degree. Move from the found values up and from the top row "And" take minutes. For example, if sin(A) = 0,8949, the angle A is 63 degrees 30 minutes.
