    Excess Information:And to tell the truth, well you could set this up as a proportion because each angle corresponds with it's opposite side. Anyways...

    Sin64 = opposite leg/18
    So 18sin64 = opposite leg

    If you can't figure it out from there, may God help you.
    what this guy said.

    Isn't this cosine law because he has all 3 angles.

    See, 90+64-180= 26

    So thats the other side.

    And with 3 angles you do cosine, or sine law. I forgot which one.

    Doesn't matter.. it's easy from there.

    If you STILL can't figure it out from there that's sad, and I guess I'll just answer it for you...

    Actually I drew it, and it looks like you can do simple sohcahtoa....

    I remember Soh Cah Toa, remember it too good, because my friend was saying it like it was desu.

    But how? I only know Sine, Cosine, and tangent. I don't want to get too far, I don't even understand how to find the sides with those three things, or what they do.
    Edit: OH OH OH OHO HOHOHOHO I GOT IT THANKS GUyZ LOL

    Side y is about 16 right?
