How do you find angles of a triangle with a given slopes?

In: Math and Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Slope = Rise/Run = y/x

1. leg = rise = y
2. leg = run = x
3. hypotenuse = √(x^2 + y^2)

tan (angle 1) = x/y
angle 1 = arctan(x/y)

tan (angle 2) = y/x
angle 2 = arctan(y/x)

How do you find the sides of a triangle given the angles?
Trigonometry is the field of math that deals with triangles. In order to calcluate them you must have at LEAST one side and one angle, or two sides. Just two angles will not provide enough...
How do you find the angles of a triangle when you are given ratios?
The sum of the angles is 180 degrees. So if the ratios are a, b and c then the angles are 180*a/(a+b+c), 180*b/(a+b+c) and 180*c/(a+b+c) degrees.
How do you find the missing angle in a triangle if you are given the other 2?
easy a triangle makes up a total of 180 degrees so add the two up and then see how much more is needed for 180 and there's your answer

How do you find the slope of a triangle?
Halve the triangle and square the base and the height. e.g the base is 14cm and the height is 45cm.You would need to square 14 and 45 and add them together.you would get 2221cm.After you got that...
