i'm looking for the length of the short side of a triangle...
the hypotenuse is 16'(192")
the angles in the triangle are 90, 67.5 and 22.5
i've looked through my limited supply of math books and i thought the math types on the forum would be able to crack this one...
thanks

Hi Mark,

I don't claim to be the math wiz on the forum, but when I scraped the rust off the old scientific calculator, I saw 73.475". Can anyone confirm or refute?

Good luck, Leon

I won't say how far back in thime I had to go to figure this out!

Anyway, I agree with 73.475" (sine (22.5) x 192)

Joel

Yes, it is 6'-1 1/2" (73.475")


Michal
