Question

If we are given an acute angle and a side in a right triangle, what unknown part of
the triangle requires the least work to find?

Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.
