Two right triangles 2008-02-18
Amy pose la question :
Hi, I have a problem that has me stumped.
There are two right triangles that share the same adjacent side (AB) which is 240'. The right angles of each triangle are at the opposite ends of the shared side.
The Opposite side (AC) of Triangle ABC is 180'
and the Hypotenuse (CB) is 300'.
The Opposite side (BD) of Triangle ABD is 100'
and the Hypotenuse (AD) is 260'.
How do I figure out where the hypotenuses intersect?

The angles in a right triangle 2007-03-28
Golaan pose la question :
I need the to understand the formula for finding either of the acute angles of a right triangle given it's hieght length and base length. I want to find the degrees of either accute angle. So for this example I have a right triangle with a height of 410 meters and a base length of 1,700 meters. I don't understand cosine, sine, and tangent or the other ones at all. So if the solution includes those (which I believe it does) could b very verbose yet in a very elementary way?

The purpose of ths is that I have to define the general incline angles (or grade) of various areas of terrain. I know the distance by map and also the the altitude at either endpoint.

Pythagorean Triples. 1997-12-04
Shameq Sayeed pose la question :
I've got a couple of problems which I hope you'll be able to solve for me.

I'm investigating pythagorean triples, and I have found a trend for the triples themselves, and thus have been able to form a general equation, i.e. a=2x+1, b=2x^2+2x, and c=b+1. Now, I sure this equation works, because I've tried it out and have come up with triples that adhere to a^2 + b^2 = c^2. But I was wondering WHY c=b+1. Is it possible to have c=b+2, and if not why not? THAT is the first problem.
Chris Fisher lui répond.

The Area of a Trapezoid. 1997-05-07
Mary George pose la question :
I am doing the area of trapezoids and mixed polygons and I was wondering if you can help me figure out this problem.

A line segment drawn parallel to a leg of a right triangle divides the other leg into segments of 3cm and 6 cm and the hypotenuse into segments of 5cm and 10 cm. The two figures formed are a triangle and a trapezoid. Find the area of each.

I would appreciate if you would email me back the solution.
Harley Weston lui répond.
