simple triangle question....i hope

[cmcclain]

if i know 2 points of a triangle and the lengths of all three sides, there must be a way to caculate the third point.....?

any help would be greatly appreciated as i am now behind schedule trying to figure this out.

cheers.

Here is the fla explaining the calculation:

man, could somebody explain this in stupid terms. i need this for a inverse kinematics solution but don't understand any of it

maybe i dont understand your question but if by points you mean the degrees of each angle you can just subtract 180 by the sum of the two other points:

A = 60
B = 50
C = ??

180 - 60+50 = 70

C = 70

like i said i might be misunderstanding your question.

In the triangle you can calculate all the values (angles and sides) if you know at least:

1. Two sides and any angle
2. Two angles and a side
3. All three sides

You can see it visually here (sorry not in english, but iam sure you ll understand, it also calculates square)

Hmm, I think that url could have answered my question, but it doesn't work anymore...

I know two sides of a triangle, one angle is 90d, and I want to know the other angles... Could anyone help me out with the formula?

I think I did not explain well in the previous the fla I post.

Here is a new fla, I add some explanation. The diagram is in the library symbol "tutor". There I explain what is R and what is H;

The calculation is in the first fram "onEnterFrame" block.
