Try to draw a right triangle with the 90 degrees on one angle. Make sure to properly place the given side and the given adjacent angle. Six triangles given have the same equation in getting the hypotenuse. The equation is Hypotenuse = Given side length / cos (given angle). Triangle 1. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 30 = 69.28203 Triangle 2. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 40 = 78.32443 Triangle 3. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 50 = 93.34343 Triangle 4. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 60 = 120 Triangle 5. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 70 = 175.42826 Triangle 6. Hypotenuse = 60 / cos 80 = 345.52623
