One side plus one acute angle determines a right triangle completely: sine links opposite to hypotenuse, cosine links adjacent, tangent links the legs. The calculator applies whichever ratio matches your known side, then fills in the rest.

Trig in the field

This is how heights get measured without climbing: stand 30 m from a tree, sight the top at 35°, and the height is 30·tan(35°) ≈ 21 m plus eye height. Ramps, roofs, and surveying all reduce to the same triangle.
