Hello all, I have a question about plotting triangles on a graph.
The problem:
Given all three side lengths and angles, and two points, find the position of the third point.
Parameters
Points:
A=[0,0]
B=[5,15]
C=?
Sides (length):
A-B (a) = sqrt( (5-0)^2 + (15-0)^2) = 15.81
A-C (b) = 5
B-C (c) = 14
Angles:
A = 102
B = 18
C = 60
Given all of this information, I know it's possible to plot the third point, but I can't seem to come up with a function to describe it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I've been stuck on this for a few weeks now...
