Hello, I was hoping for some help with finding point D in triangle ABC knowing the coordinates of A, B, C and their distances from D.
I was going to use it for a game, so I can't use graphing either.
I have looked around, and found a few examples, but I'm in basic Algebra right now, and I don't know half (that being an overstatement) of the things the examples discuss. I was just hoping for a formula (or set of formulas) that would take in the points (as Cartesian coordinates) and distances, and output D's coordinates in Cartesian coordinates.
A little explaining of the math behind this (in terms I can understand :wink would also be very helpful (but not needed).
Also, as usual, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask
Thanks!
Ben
