104.625 is vertical from the base of the triangle, with the 17 degree angle at the top of the 104.625 side
Thanks!

The length of the hypotenuse is 109.406
side1 = 104.625
side2 = 31.987

Opposite = adjacent * tangent of the angle
Hypotenuse = Opposite / sine of the angle

104.625 is vertical from the base of the triangle, with the 17 degree angle at the top of the 104.625 sideso then x = 104.625/cos(17)
Make sure your calculator is in "Degrees" mode and not "Radians" mode or everything will go crazy fast.

sin(73*)=104.625/x
0.956=104.625/x
0.956x=104.625
x=109.406
Incidentally, the third side is length 31.987, the proof of which is left as an exercise for the reader.

Then the hypotenuse is 104.625 divided by the sine of 73 degrees. the sine of 73 degrees is 0.9563, so the hypotenuse is 109.406.
