It's for a Theater project! I'm not supposed to know these things! Just need 'X'!

'how to work out how long the sides of a triangle is if you know all three angles and the length of one side.' and this was the first result:

Look at the first response. What a fucking dick, it's obvious what the guy is asking.
Oh, and it's about 5'7". It was easy to work out. I simply read the other responses you got. I'm surprised you didn't think of that yourself really.

or 6 furlongs, one or the other
5' 7" is a bit closer - did it with drafting, not math so it depends on how accurate you need it - 5 1/2 ft. should do for theatre.

(actually, I am just running up my postings to get to 500 sooner (without resorting to thread wasting tricks...) My 6th year is coming up soon and I still feel like a lurker sometimes.

I would have to emulate MS on my Mac and then run that P.O.S.
I did just fire up my old Powerbook Mac from the mid 1990s - that is almost like running Vista...

I use Seashore on my mac. It's a lot better than paint, but has kind of a different charm.

(x = 8 / tan 55, or x = 8 * tan 35) and got the same answer as kebab, who is a MATHEMOTISHUM. We can share the Nobel Prize.
