Given:
Given that a right triangle with one angle and one side.
Required:
To determine which of the option we need to use.
Explanation:
The given triangle is a right triangle and it having only one side and one angle.
Pythagorean Theorem : If in a triangle the square on one of the sides equals the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides of the triangle, then the angle contained by the remaining two sides of the triangle is right.
Therefore, here Pythagorean Theorem s not used.
We have to use the trigonometry formula.
Final Answer:
The option Trigonometry is correct.

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have the following points:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find "b":
Finally, the equation is of the form:
