Hi Ashton, a diagram would be helpful to make sure you don't get a misleading answer on here. That said...what trigonometric function includes: the angle, the adjacent side and the opposite side? That would be tangent (cotangent too, but tangent is more convenient). So you can use the definition of tangent to solve for the opposite side. Hypotenuse isn't needed here.
