If the hypotenuse c and the angle are known, the lengths of the sides a and b can be determine from the definition of sin = which gives a = c (sin ) cos = which gives b = c (cos )

If the hypotenuse c and the angle are known, the lengths of the sides a and b can be determine from the definition of sin = which gives a = c (sin ) cos = which gives b = c (cos )

If the hypotenuse c and the angle are known, the lengths of the sides a and b can be determine from the definition of sin = which gives a = c (sin ) cos = which gives b = c (cos )

The hypotenuse c can be determined if the sides a and b are given using the Pythagorean Theorem. From elementary geometry, the hypotenuse is found as c = a + b Therefore, c= The angle is found from the definition of tangent function, tan = The angle becomes =
