pythagora question

[Golf1.6]

I've looked up numerous pythagoras calculators online all of them are able to give me the angles and length of the hypothenuse, if I provide 2 sides. But none seem to be able to give me the lengths of 2 sides if I know the length of a and angle of a with c.

Is this possible?

sorry yes, pythagoras only works with triangles with one right angle. So i know TWO angles, one custom angle, 1 right angle and 1 side.

why exactly do you need an online calculator for this?

you could always knock one up yourself in excel

thanks, had such a doh moment, because I just did trial and error a week ago, playing around with side b until the angle of a matches to what i have.

It's for a garden outhouse that's hexagonal shape so I've been pulling hairs out with my planning, not know what mitre cuts to do.

dont get my started on the roofing either.
