- 1. Finding an unknown side of a right angled triangle . TAKE NOTE O TanA = A Say angle is 30o True Values (2 dp) Example, anytime we come across a right- angled triangle with a known angle we can find an unknown side if we are given the value of one other side. Tan 30o = 0.58 h h Tan 300 = 75 ⇒ h = 75Tan 300 ⇒ h = 75x 0.58 = 43.5m 30o 75 m
