Using Trigonometry to Find
Unknown Side
Using the Pythagorean Theorem (a

+ b
2
= c
2
) keys, find Side a (“x”) of a right trian-
gle, if Side b (“y”) is 6-1/2” and Side c
(“r”), the hypotenuse, is 12-1/16”:
Note: Use the calculator’s x, y and r keys; sub-
stitute triangle legs a, b and c for
R
,
r
and
