How to find 3rd coordinate of a triangle given 2 others
-
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.

Does your triangle look like:
A
|\
| \

| \
| \

C -------- B"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

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:

:omg: I never saw Mark so upset :omg: Now I'm curious about deleted messages content. :)

[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. :)
