How to find 3rd coordinate of a triangle given 2 others
-
Does your triangle look like:
A
|\
| \
| \
| \
| \
| \
| \
C -------- B"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown
"The brick walls are there for a reason...to stop the people who don't want it badly enough." - Randy Pausch
Well, I suppose you may freely rotate it and (as long as you keep the straight angle) make it isosceles. :-D

[My articles]My question was actually leading up to something else. If he knows the x,y coordinates of A and B, and he knows the distance of AC and BC, then he should be able to add/subtract from A and B to get C. I've never studied trigonometry so I may be missing something obvious.

I was just kidding and your point is good. IMHO the problem with is question is the redundance of inputs (excluding the 'stolen membership hypothesis'). :)

In ABC triangle, there are A and B coordinates are given, AB, AC and BC distances are known, the ACB angle is 90'. How to find C point x,y coordinates?

This problem can be seen as finding intersection of two circle. also this problem will have two solutions. How to imagine it as problem of intersection of two circles. Circle 1 center point be A with radius AC and circle 2 as of center B and radius BC. Note: ACB angle 90 degree information is redundant and is not required check out the below link to find the solution of intersection points of two circles and well as the c code to do it. The c code can be directly used for your purpose. http://ozviz.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/2circle/[^] You could have found a faster solution in mathematics and algorithm discussion section.

Also distance between
AandBis redundant (we've their coords). Generally speaking, two pieces of info are redundant. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Yes exactly. I've got recently extension as we can have either A,B coords and CBA,CAB angles to find out C coords, or we know B coord only plus AB,BC lengths to find out A coords. I'm ashamed :-O I always exceled in geometry but that was dozen of years ago in school.

... but do not forget arbitrary rotation of the triangle.

I knew ~pbourke site long times ago it was great. The solution is very near and seems obvious. Mathematics thread seems not so populated, also I would not met there me friends :-)

Not stolen membership. It's him and he's been asking extremely basic questions for quite a while now: Unresolved external symbol[^]. It's funny how he asked if we earn money with votes and started whining after someone voted down his article. I've (along with a few other regulars) stopped providing any assistance to him. And now he has posted a trigonometry question in the Visual C++ board. :rolleyes:

[My articles]No, Mark was not upset. That is the dialogues from Monty Python holy grail scene 8. :)

OK but there should be a reason to quote it, shouldn't it?

[My articles]When I asked him not to low-vote all the posts, he said that we must look at things the "Monty Python" way. So, Mark replied with a Monty python quote. He asked me if I earn money with votes and said that I am partial towards high votes. Later on, ironically he started squealing and crying after someone voted his article down. Talk about the people who won't follow their own suggestions. :)
