    Finding the angle between two intersecting hallways

    Thanks, but I'd rather leave differential calculus for next semester :D

    Finding the angle between two intersecting hallways

    That actually helped, but I have an idea. The whole point of the question was to design a program in Java to solve the above problem using any two widths entered by the user. I figured that since Theta is between 0 and 90 degrees, I can run the calculation in a loop 90 times, and get the...

    Finding the angle between two intersecting hallways

    No. I am not studying differential calculus. the requirement of the question is that I need to be able to enter two widths of both the hallways, and then calculate the length of the longest possible ladder that can be carried to the right-side of the room using this formula: AC = AB + BC =...

    Finding the angle between two intersecting hallways

    In the question, it says that: AC = AB + BC = (8/sin(Theta) ) + (5/cos(Theta) ) I just want to know the angle theta to know the length of AC that constitutes the longest ladder possible to be carried to the right side of the room.

    Finding the angle between two intersecting hallways

    Hey I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I suspect it has an easy solution, but I just need some verification. L is a ladder between two hallways. How can someone find the angle theta?? Excuse my silly question, but I would really like some input if possible. Thanks
