For a right-angled triangle, follow these steps to calculate the length of a side, \(x\), when another side and an angle Ɵ is given: Formula triangles can be used to help with rearranging the ...

To calculate the length of one of the shorter sides, rearrange the formula to make \(a^2\) or \(b^2\) the subject. \(a^2 = c^2 - b^2\) or \(b^2 = c^2 - a^2\) Then take the square root to calculate ...
