how to find other sides of a triangle with one side

I'm so stressed out over a stupid math question.

Hi Caleb.  You have good reason to be stressed.  Just knowing one side is not enough!  There are many triangles that could be made given one side length.  Do you have any more information?

it is a right triangle one angle of the triangle has a degree of 55, and another at 90 of course.

Caleb, you still need to tell us the length of one of the triagle sides because there is an infinite number of similiar triangles with angle measures 35,55 and 90.
