Question

How to find two missing sides of a Right Triangle with a right angle and a 50 degree angle if the hypotenuse is `2sqrt2`?

Answer 1

`a=2.16`
`b=1.81`

Explanation:

The missing angle has to be `90°-50°=40°` and the triangle should look like:

with `c=2sqrt(2)=2.82`
From trigonometry:
`a=c*cos(40°)=2.16`
`b=c*sin(40°)=1.81`
