    I need help creating a workflow that will provide adjacent & Hypotenuse lengths.

    My goal is to use a given angle (degree) in our industry and a given opposite line that is 36". I need to find the the adjacent lines length.

    What I have done so far is: =(TAN(0.4)*36). .4 is the given degree or angle. The issue I have is this gives me an answer in radians. (15.22)

    Looking at a trigonometric triangle: i need to find the adjacent side by inserting the given degree. i also would like to get the hypotenuse side as well.

    Ultimately I would like to create a column of given degrees starting from .4 and increasing .1 degree on each line up to 50 degrees. I would like to have one column show the adjacent length and another column show hypotenuse length.

    I hope I have explained well enough as I am lost so any help would be greatly appreciated.
