Hiya, I am trying to solve something but it's driving me mad, please save me, no this is not math homework I am 30 years old.
I have this triangle here:
Hypot = 60
Adjacent = 30
Opposite ??
lets give them nice names
Hypot = C
Adjacent = A
Opposite = B
I do not know the angles apart from that this is a right angle triangle.
What are the steps to solve this?
I am JavaScript centric so code in this language or explanations in code would be super! (math is not my strongest suit sometimes)

Perhaps Pythagoras theorem. google.com/search?q=hypotenuse
Pythagore : c*c = a*a + b*b
I think it's?
B = √(c² - a²)
yep that's correct -
this gives us
b = sqrt(3) * 30upon further simplification which is approximately equal to - 51.962
