Sin,Cos,Tan
let's say a=10
and the adjacent theta(degrees) = 60
and the opposite theta(degrees) = 30
without doubt there's an orthagonal angle(90degrees)
can you tell me what is b, and c?
This question was obviously weird to me, once upon a time a boy came to me and ask me.

b/a = adj/opp = tan 60° so.... b = a*tan(60°)
and
a/c = opp/hyp = sin 30° so.... c = a/(sin(30°))

yes, sorry, the answer is correct but i made a typo there
b still equals a*tan(60°)
