    Answer: Angles: 53.1°, 90°, 39.9°

    horizontal lenght: 3/5

    vertical lenght: 4/5

    hypotenuse: 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have that:

    Angle = 53.1°

    Horizontal lenght = 3/5 (this is the adjacent cathetus)

    Vertical lenght = 4/5 (this is the opposite cathetus)

    We can check this using that

    tg (angle) = opposite/adjacent:

    tg (53.1) = 1.33

    and

    (4/5) / (3/5) = 4/3 = 1.33

    so this makes sense.

    Now, we can find the hypotenuse by the relation:

    Sin (angle) = opposite/hypotenuse:

    sin (53.1) = (4/5) / H

    H = (4/5) / sin (53.1) = 1

    Now, in a triangle rectangle we always have an angle of 90°.

    And we know that the addition of the 3 internal angles of a triangle rectangle always add up to 180°, so we can find the last angle with this.

    A + 53.1° + 90° = 180°

    A = 90° - 53.1° = 36.9°

    Now we have finded all the missing parts of our triangle.
