Actually, this is not about angles.  It's about the length of the sides in a right triangle.

In EVERY right triangle, the squares of the lengths of the short sides add up
to the square of the length of the longest side.  You're in high school math,so
I'm SURE you've heard that in class before ... possibly even just before you
were assigned this problem.

Let's say that again:  The squares of the lengths of the sides that meet at
the  right angle add up to the square of the length of the longest side.  In
the triangle in this particular problem, that means
                                                                             a² + b² = c²

You know the lengths of 'b' and 'c', so you shouldn't have any trouble finding
the length of 'a'.
