| Olathe | You can use the law of sines or cosines. |
| Suprano | you got A and B and need C ? |
| Defty | try different lengths until you're satisfied.. this is what any wise computer user would do |
| Mooi | probably I have a length and two angles. how do i find another angle, or anything at all? |
| TRWBW | Mooi: with the law of sines/cosines you got 2 equations in 2 unknowns Mooi: each known angle gives you an equation Mooi: each equation has two unknowns, the two unknown sides |
| Mooi | yes, i'm looking at this law right now i'm just confused I guess |
| TRWBW | did what is said make sense? |
| Manyfold | well we know alpha+beta+gamma=pi |
| TRWBW | another way to do it is with vectors, you have one side of length a, so you can construct a line from (0,0) with angle AB and another from (a,0) with angle AC and see where they intersect you can work that out into a formula |
| Manyfold | and c^2 =a^2 +b^2 + 2ab cos gamma and sin alpha/a =sin beta/b =sin gamma /c |
| TRWBW | Mooi: or do this http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AASTheorem.html Manyfold: i missed that. yeah, i got a sweet 16 semi-auto shotgun, a .22 LR for shooting targets, a 12 gauge pump, a .303 bolt action, and a 9mm semi-auto pistol |
| Manyfold | TRWBW: may i ask if you are a member of the NRA? i want to own guns too :( |
| TRWBW | Manyfold: of course not, i'm for gun control. but until they make guns illegal, i want more guns than the guy next door. |
| Manyfold | gun control is for bleeding heart liberals :) |
| FatalError | seriously, I mean I use my uzi and ak-47 for sport hunting.. honest ;) |
| TRWBW | Manyfold: yeah, after being shot in the chest most people who are bleeding from their heart want medical attention and gun control |
| Manyfold | TRWBW: buy a bulletproof vest |
| ekiM | what a practical suggestion |
| Tene | Manyfold: any a bulletproof helmet and bulletproof goggles and bulletproof gloves etc? |
| TRWBW | Manyfold: that bugs me, i wish i could buy a p-five-seven pistol, but it's illegal here |
| FatalError | good thing I wore my bullet proof underwear today |
| Manyfold | why is it illegal? |
| TRWBW | it goes through vests |
| Manyfold | FatalError: i wear no underwear ^ ^ |

| Manyfold | :) |
| TRWBW | i'm all for gun control, but as long as they are legal, i'm gonna have a bunch |
| Manyfold | yeah i ouldn't want to raise my children in the us to much violence over there |
| TRWBW | i'm against whaling too, but as long as it's legal, 10 years ago i went to japan and had 12 course meal, all whale |
