The main reason we use trigonometry is to find missing sides of triangles. (This has a lot of real world applications...almost anything with a measured angle has an application of this.)

To find a missing side of a triangle given one side and one angle:

1.Label Opp, Adj, & Hyp
2.Which sides are used?
3.Pick trig ratio (SOH CAH TOA)
4.Solve for x
5.Use calculator to get the value
