JR Math problem of the day:

Postby ThomasKaira » Thu Dec 13, 2007 12:12 am

If there is any soul out there who is willing to solve a little math problem for fun, give this a shot. :D

Solve triangle DAK:

D=30*
A=45*
K=?

d=20
a=?
k=?

Hows about it? This one is easy enough.

The sum of the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.

30

Although it's not very clear, I think what Jet Ranger means is something a little like this...

In trig problems it's quite common to denote the angles with capitals and the lengths
of the opposite sides with small letters. :)

Well, the problem is basic trig... Sin rule will do...
Angles add up to 180
