[RESOLVED] Algebra with triangle sides etc. Im stumped.
Hey there. My skill in the area of math has faded fast over the recent years, and now I find myself completely stuck with this problem:
I know the hypotenuse of a triangle. I need to find the length of the other 2 sides of this triangle. The only thing I know about the other 2 sides is their "ratio".
Basically pythagoras:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
Where C is known. And I also know X in this equation:
A / X = B.
This led me to simplify the equation into:
A^2 + (A / X)^2 = C^2
But thats as far as I got
I'd really appreciate some help!
