Re: Determine corner-coordinate on triangle

I drew up this diagram:
http://www.swiftwx.com/triangle.gif

Ok, so I have :

tan(30 + 14.036243)
= tan(44...)
slope = 0.965688...

i can solve for y, (mx+b), but how do I solve for x?


The angle in your diagram should be 30 degrees, right?

Now you find the equation of the other line, through
B & C, and then find the intersection of the two lines.
