David Bethel Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Ok I'm brain dead today: ab > bc form right angle Length ab is known Angle ac is known Length ac (/ (distance ab) (sin ac)) My ugly 1 of the day is: Length bc = (sqrt (- (* ac ac) (* ab ab))) Any clue to the trig call I need to find length bc? -David ( of the zombies ) Quote
PS_Port Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Length bc = (* (distance ac) (cos A)) I have changed the angle variable to A Quote
David Bethel Posted December 17, 2009 Author Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks! I'll give it a try in the AM. I knew it should be simple, just couldn't bring it ti mind. Thanks again -David Quote
