How to Find Missing Sides and Angles of a Right Triangle? (+FREE Worksheet!)
Missing Sides and Angles of a Right Triangle – Example 1:
Find AC in the following triangle. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
Solution: 
\(sin\) \(θ=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\). \(sin\) \(45^\circ=\frac{AC}{8}→8 ×sin 45^\circ=AC\),
now use a calculator to find \(sin\) \(45^\circ\). \(sin\) \(45^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}→\cong 0.70710\)
AC\(=\) \( 0.70710 \) \(×\) \( 8 \) \( \cong 5.7 \) → AC\(=5.7\)

Missing Sides and Angles of a Right Triangle – Example 2:
Find AC in the following triangle. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
Solution:
\(sin\) \(θ=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\). \(sin\) \(40^\circ=\frac{AC}{6}→6 ×\) \(sin\) \(40^\circ=AC\),
now use a calculator to find \(sin\) \(40^\circ\). \(sin\) \(40^\circ\cong 0.642\)
AC\(=\) \( 0.642 \) \(×\) \(6 \) \( \cong 3.9 \) → AC\(= 3.9\)
