Use trig ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

Choose the correct method for a right-triangle problem: trig ratio, inverse trig, Pythagorean Theorem, or insufficient information

Problem

A right triangle has only \(\text{one}~\text{known}~\text{side}~\text{length}\), \(\text{no}~\text{acute}~\angle~\text{measures}\), and an unknown leg to find. Evaluate whether the Pythagorean theorem, a trigonometric ratio, or inverse trigonometry has enough input, then state the appropriate determination.
