Hi,
Please find the attached diagram. My goal is to find the co-ordinate point (x,y). Given that I already know the co-ordinates of A,B, and C and the length's a, b and c, how can I compute (x,y) ?.
My work: I divided them into two separate right-angled triangles and found the third co-ordinate using the slope property. I used this thread http://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/t...-set-of-coordinates-to-a-right-triangle/page2 . However, I am not sure if that's the way to proceed and how can I be sure that's the right answer?
P.S: This is not any homework problem
Thanks for your help!
