Help me calculate length when i know angles?

woodoo

Can someone help me to calculate the the length of 2 sides of a triangle when i know the angles and one of the lengths.

Say the triangle in link below is 35 degrees at angle B, Angle A and C are 72.5 degrees and i know the length of the bottom of the triangle is 4 meters. What are the other 2 lengths. http://www.mathplanet.com/education/...etry/triangles

I put this in AH because of the traffic it gets. If it gets shut down can someone please PM me the answer as i need those lengths urgently to calculate how much wood i need for a job tomorrow.

Should be at a 45° angle, and you need at least 6" to hit the spot.

The link isn't working, what two angles is the 4 meters length between?

I know i will have the usual AH jokes and wind ups to put up with here but all i need is one kind person with a knowledge of maths to help solve the problem.

Angle at B = 35 degrees
Angle at A and C are both 72.5 degrees
The length of bottom of triangle is 4 metres.

What are the other 2 lengths?

The square on the hippy's pot of mousse is equal to some of the squares on the other two something or other.

Hope this helps.

I know my angle in relation to my length.

Clearly you are looking for the optimal position to place your girlfriend - and how she will view your length given the angle she is viewing from.

Just below and slightly behind is probably the best angle as it affords you most of the length of the shaft, while appealing the the average depth perception of the average human.

Your chances of keeping up this charade however are minimal. You are better of just waving it in her face and declaring such cliches as "the best things come in small packages" or "the smallest oranges are always the juiciest".

Use pythagoras maybe ?

Its far too late for me to do any sort of math

I'm going to email Ruairi Quinn a link to this thread and let him see how much work he has to do.

6.65 will be the length of the other two sides...

I think i would need a triangle with a 90 degree in it to use pythagoras.

Is that the total of the other two sides of just the length of each.

Man, you remind me of an ex girlfriend. It is what it is

Draw a line through the middle and half the big triangle into two smaller ones

Now you have two small ones with 90 degree angles and you know the lines at the bottom

Did you miss the helpful link earlier in the thread op?

Bedtime micky you are getting cranky.

The square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Gold Star here. Excellent logical thinking.

Maybe your question is better suited here.

Oh.
