Algebra is an instrument of the devil.
From back in my carpet laying days, I remember if you measure 6' on an edge, and 8' on another edge, if you measure from point to point, you should have exactly 10'.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

3-4-5 is a common right triangle proportion. Can be linearly scaled to any appropriate dimension set. Larger (6-8-10, 9-12-15) simply improves precision of the setting of the right angle by reducing relative measurement error (you still measure as fine on tape measure -- 1/8th inch, or whatever you have chosen).
I taught this to a former friend who worked construction w/ me when he dropped out of high school and decried not needing "math". I told him he used it every day.
Killed himself a few years back. Shame.

At this point, I think you're just screwing with us, so I'm out.
Good luck with your missing sides.
OK I think I possibly might know what is going on with you and I perfectly understand if not and you’re messing with me oh well I’m going to answer your question anyway. As everyone is stated the formula for figuring out the legs on a right triangle is a squared plus B squared equals C squared. You already know what c is. So if a+b =c than c-a=b or c-b=a. In other words if the hypotenuse is 25 and one of the other legs is 16 . Subtract 16 from 25 and you get 9. Figure out your square roots. The square root of 25 being 5 . The square root of 16 being 4. The square root of nine being 3. You now know the links of your 3,4,5 triangle. Oh almost forgot C always represents the hypotenuse! Does that help?
Showing someone the mathematical formula if they do not understand the symbols does them absolutely no good!

Been way to many years since I used trig... algebra is easy still... calculus? Nope, forgot it!
The ONLY way that I got through THOSE classes in high school was to sit between Melanie and Penny and trade English help for Math help!

This is the only truly depressing thread I have ever encountered on a cast boolits forum.
Only one side to a left triangle.

This thread has become unbelievable! No wonder some folks have posts numbering in the thousands. The OP’s question has been answered multiple times in some variation of the same thing; yet, the compulsion to rephrase the obvious is almost funny. Something as simple as the question which has such a simple solution makes me question any advice given on something as potentially dangerous such as reloading advice
So... how do I figure the weight of the mass of a triangle when I don't know any of the sides?

Deadpan answer for Alf: In physical terms, weight is not mass. Alternative sarcasm: abstractions are without weight, unless you consider the mass of the brain cells used in formulating smart-ass questions. Speculation: Famous Pig must be a trial lawyer.

This thread is fun,
shows the power of asking questions
and getting answers.
Best answer is "measure it".
Because in this world we do our best but
never find an exact 90 degree angle,
a straight line, round circle, or a perfect wife.
All depends what you measure with.
We get by in a messy crooked world
trying for three place accuracy
hoping for perfection in the next.
Now if you know all three sides of a right triangle, how do you calculate the inside?
OP must be trying to make a point, but I haven’t a clue what it might be.

The wise old Indian has the trick....SOHCAHTOA
S=O/H
C=A/H
T=O/A
A cheap scientific calculator will get you there.
