where i share a class of mine called TriangleSolver ...
in your case, you can use the sine rule method
Sine Rule : side1/angle1 = side2/angle2 = side3/angle3
or hypotheneuse/90 = side2/angle2 = side3/(180 - (90+angle2))
angle1 for example is the angle opposite to side1
var otherSide:Number = TriangleSolver.sineRule(null, angle1, side2,
angle2); // will return side1
var otherSide:Number = TriangleSolver.sineRule(side1, null, side2,
angle2); // will return angle1

Given the interior angles and the length of one side (not the
hypoteneuse) of a right triangle, how do I calculate (in Flash) the
length of the other 2 sides?
Thanks,
