Trig, how do I find missing side?
I'm doing this trig problem where it gives me a hypotenuse of 6, two missing legs, and a 40 degree angle, it wants me to find the measure of one leg (x), but I don't know what process I should go through. Should I use the Pythagorean theorem or should I use the fact that x/6( the hypotenuse) = the 40 degree angle? please help!

depending where the angle is, as to how it relates to the sides, I would
use the sine, cosine, or tangent functions to find the unknown sides.
