Mathematics - Trigonometry - Introduction - Solving right triangles - Complete Triangle Solution

6 steps: (1) 'Solving' a right triangle means finding ALL sides and angles. (2) Given: angle A=40°, side a=8 (opposite). Find everything else. (3) Angle B=90°-40°=50° (angles sum to 180°). (4) Hypotenuse: sin(40°)=8/c → c=8/sin(40°)=12.45. (5) Adjacent: tan(40°)=8/b → b=8/tan(40°)=9.53. (6) Verify w
