Ayil Meshulash — Discourse 4Trigonometry and the Measurement of Triangles

If the measure of the sine line of the angle under consideration is equal to the measure of the sine line of one of the other angles they both must be acute, for it is impossible for them both to be obtuse, as we have shown; and it is likewise impossible for one to be acute and the other obtuse, for if this were so these angles would be like an acute and obtuse angle that share one sine line, the two of which already total 180 degrees without the inclusion of the third angle of the triangle, and all three angles of a triangle must total no more than 180 degrees (as was written in section 63) .

One should also know that when three angles are known the length of the sides cannot be deduced, for only their proportion to each other can be determined.
Section 110 In a right triangle there are only three necessary arrangements of quantities. Since the right angle is known only two other quantities need be known: another angle and side or two sides [or two angles which is not mentioned] .
