Really stuck on maths, can somone help please?

In triangle KLM, angle LKM = 45degrees and angle LMK = 30degrees. Find the exact value of LM/KL.

Trigonometry deals with right angled trianges.

A triangle

AngleA = 90 degrees
AngleB = 90 degrees

What is angleC?

Maybe you have to write it in like letters and stuff? Like KLMsinLK=Cos45/30. Can you tell I made that up off of the top of my head? But maybe it is something like that.

Anything within a certain ratio.

If you only have those three angles, then the sides have no certain length. They could be anything. Just think that AAA does not prove congruency.

That's what I thought. I bet you the goddamn teacher typed the question out wrong. Bah humbug.

There's no right angle!

Angle LKM (a.k.a. Angle K) is 45 degrees.
Angle KML (a.k.a. Angle M) is 30 degrees.
Angle MLK (a.k.a. Angle L) is 105 degrees.

So the line joining Angle L and Angle M is sideLM, and the line joining Angle L and Angle K is sideLK.

Does that help?
