Hi all -
New to the forum and have a real world problem I am attempting to solve. Apologies ahead of time for the improper use of terminology as math has never been my strong suit.
I have included an image below with the problem I am facing. I need to solve for X. I know I can do it by using the ARCTAN function to find the interior angles where the two triangles meet, then use SIN to ultimately find X. However, is there a more efficient way to solve for X using some sort of principal for triangles that are similar?
Thanks in advance.
Tyler
