Re: right triangle
Hi;
You use SOHCAHTOA.
(opposite of hypotenuse)
The right angle is opposite the hypotenuse.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
