How do i find the measure of a side of a right triangle when i have thwe hypotenus and another side?
Use sine, cosine and tangent! Sine in opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse and tangent is opposite over adjacent. ChaCha!

About Cosine
The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.
About Hypotenuse
The length of the hypotenuse is found by using the Pythagorean theorem. A Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle. This is the side that is opposite of the right angle.
