I keep forgetting how to do this and every time i take the SATs it comes up! What is the formula to find a hypotenuse of a triangle? Cooresponding with this topic, how can you use the formula to find the other one of the other angles? Thanks for help ^^

#1
Pythagoras theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Trigonometry: c = a/sin(alpha) = b/sin(beta) = a/cos(beta) = b/cos(alpha)
