Thread: Right triangles

sorry for the semi dumb question, but can anyone help me.

I was wondering how do you find the sides of a right triangle if all you know is the angles.

For example, I know that Theta (θ) is 10° therefor the angles are 10°, 90°, 80°. what would the sides be?

you need at least one side length ... sides cannot be found using angle information alone.

you can find side length ratios, however.
