I just have a quick question. How do you find distance between ac and bc. I know its simple i just don't want to do the whole problem with wrong Rac and Rbc values. I graphed it and did Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse? Is this correct i got distance between ac to be .186 and bc to be .178. I got the physics down its the algebra that i need to check!
