i have a trigometry question, "find each measure to the nearest degree or whole number." theres a right triangle, the oppisite side is "w" adjacent is "v" and hypotenuse is "13" the angle next to the 90 degree is 61 degree, please help.

Sin(61)=w/13

0.8746197=w/13

w=13 x 0.8746197=11.37- the Opposite side, or 11

The second angle=90 - 61=29 degrees

13^2=11^2 + v^2

169=121 + v^2

v^2=169 - 121

v^2=48

v=sqrt(48) =~7
