Our use of trigonometry the study of right triangles can be distilled down to the definitions of the three basic trigonometric functions When you know the length of two sides of a right triangle or the length of one side and a non right angle you can solve for all the angles and sides of the triangle if you can use the definitions of the sine cosine and tangent you ll be fine in this course 8 6 m hypotenuse 90 5 m 86 m opposite adjacent adjacent Of course if you need to solve for the angles themselves you can use the inverse trigonometric functions sin 9 05 m opposite hypotemuse opposite cos sin cose tan adjacent hypotenuse opposite hypotenuse tan You ll want a calculator to solve these if you don t have one use this one from desmos adjacent hypotenuse Question If the known non right angle is 35 degrees and the hypotenuse is 15m how tall in meters is the opposite side opposite adjacent
