Write a program to calculate adjacent and opposite of a triangle.
My code can calculate hypotenuse but won't calculate opposite and adjacent.
check out MATH.sin and MATH.cos
If you have the hypotenuse and an angle, these will help.
If all you have is the hypotenuse, you're stuck. There is no way to figure the legs with just that.
I am given hypotenuse and height and question b I am given hypotenuse and base

To calculate the opposite and adjacent sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
To calculate the hypotenuse, you can use the following formula:
hypotenuse = √(opposite^2 + adjacent^2)
To calculate the opposite and adjacent sides, you can rearrange the formula to:
opposite = √(hypotenuse^2 - adjacent^2)
adjacent = √(hypotenuse^2 - opposite^2)
You can implement this logic in your program using any programming language. Here's an example in Python:
```python
import math
def calculate_triangle_sides(hypotenuse, opposite, adjacent):
# Calculate the hypotenuse
hypotenuse = math.sqrt(opposite**2 + adjacent**2)
# Calculate the opposite side
opposite = math.sqrt(hypotenuse**2 - adjacent**2)
# Calculate the adjacent side
adjacent = math.sqrt(hypotenuse**2 - opposite**2)
return opposite, adjacent
# Example usage
opposite, adjacent = calculate_triangle_sides(5, None, None)
print("Opposite:", opposite)
print("Adjacent:", adjacent)
```
In this example, the `calculate_triangle_sides` function takes the existing hypotenuse value, and calculates the opposite and adjacent sides based on the Pythagorean theorem. The function returns the calculated values.
Note that if you are only given the hypotenuse value and not the opposite or adjacent sides, you cannot calculate both sides uniquely. You will need additional information, such as an angle, to determine the individual side lengths.
