Don't you have to have 3 elements to calculate a triangle?

side, side, side
side, angle side
angle, side, angle
angle, angle, angle

In general, 3 elements are required to specify a triangle (but not three angles). However, the original post mentioned a hypotenuse, which suggests that a right-angled triangle is intended, though it does not say so explicitly. Some subsequent posts have assumed this. This leaves only two more elements to be specified.
