How do you solve for side b in a right triangle when angle a is 40 degrees and the hypotenuse is 15?

I'll take a shot at this, but it's all assumptions and guesswork, since the question is so ambiguous:
-- The question doesn't state how many sides the figure has, or whether the 'b' is an angle or a side.
-- Assume that we're working with a right triangle, because the question uses the word "hypotenuse".
-- Assume that the 'b' it's asking for is another angle, besides the 40-degree angle given.
-- If it's a triangle, then the sum of the 3 interior angles is 180 degrees.
-- If it's a right triangle, then one of the interior angles is 90 degrees.
-- The missing angle is [ 180 - 90 - 40 ] = 50 degrees.
The length of the hypotenuse makes no difference, but we're very happy that
you said the magic word "hypotenuse".

What is A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side of the triangle at a right angle?
The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is opposite to its right angle of 90 degrees.
In a right triangle with the hypotenuse c equals 10 and the angle A equals 50 degrees the angle B equals?
In a right triangle with the hypotenuse c equals 10 and the angle A equals 50 degrees the angle B equals: 40 degrees.
In a right triangle, the is opposite the right angle?
The side opposite the right angle of a right angle triangle is the hypotenuse
How do you find perpendicular of right angle triangle?
It is the angle opposite the hypotenuse which measures 90 degrees
The side of a right triangle opposite the right angle?
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
Why is the hypotenuse the longest side?
In a right angle triangle the hypotenuse is the largest side because it is opposite to the largest angle which is 90 degrees.
Which angle has hypotenuse?
For a right angle triangle its hypotenuse is opposite its angle of 90 degrees and its other two angles are acute and its 3 angles add up to 180 degrees.
What is degree of hypotenuse?
A triangle with an hypotenuse has a right angle that measures 90 degrees and two other acute angles,
How do you find the angle opposite of the hypotenuse of a triangle with all three sides known?
The only triangle that has a hypotenuse is a right-triangle. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, so the angle is always 90 degrees. In this case, if you're just finding the angle then you don't need to know what the side lengths are.
Which triangle has a hypotenuse?
right angle triangle
