Approximation to solve an oblique triangle
John
The previous post gave a simple and accurate approximation for the smaller angle of a right triangle. Given a right triangle with sides a, b, and c, where a is the shortest side and c is the hypotenuse, the angle opposite side a is approximately in radians. The previous post worked in degrees, but here we’ll use radians. If the […] The post Approximation to solve an oblique triangle first appeared on John D. Cook .
