    Right triangle triginometry?
    If I know one side, but don't know which side it belongs to, and I know an angle and where it belongs relative to the 90 deg angle... which trig function do I use to find the missing side?

    You can use tangent or cotangent of the known angle to find the ratio of the two sides.
