I know the lengths of the hypot. and the base of a rt. triangle. How can I find the angle measures?
+130511 Use the inverse sine to find the angle opposite the base
You will have sin-1(base/hyp) = "theta"
Then, just subtract that from 90...that will give you the other angle.
Of course, I'd probably use the Pythag theorem to find the missing side first, too, since a "two-sided" triangle isn't considered kosher.
yes.
by using pythag. thrm. and basic trig u can find the angle measures.
use pythg. thrm. to find missing side
tan^-1(base/missing side)= bottem angel
good luck
