How to find the sides of a triangle without using trigonometry?
ohaa [14]
If its a right-angled triangle you can find the third side if the  length of the other 2 sides are known. Use the Pythagoras theorem.

If you have 2 triangles which are similar and you know the length of  one or more sides of one of them then you can find  the lengths of corresponding sides in the second triangle.
