Believe me, I studied this problem for a long time before I was able to solve it. I also
came up with unusually simple way to arrive at the second side of the right triangle so the
problem was solvable. I don’t want to blow my own horn, but it is extremely rare that an
individual like myself, who hasn’t studied high math, will ever come up with a complex
mathematical rule on his own that works, whether mathematicians know about it or not.

Now we can calculate the angle because the sin B = hypotenuse ÷ side b. With this angle
we now know the remaining missing tangent points can be solved with your calculator.
Note that once we know that angle, it should be noted the same angle falls in two other
places as shown in Fig. 15 above. This allows us to solve the remainder of the problem in
Figure 16 in the same manner as we did in Fig. 15.
