To make a stab at answering my own question, if I calculate the angle O between BC and BA and it's greater than 90 degrees, B is the closest point to C; the same would apply to the angle between AC and AB.
Am I at least in the vicinity of a workable solution?
Hi all,
Let me state up front that I'm a math idiot. I minored in it in college 20+ years ago and haven't needed it as a software engineer...until now.
I'm trying to solve a problem for work that's got me pulling my hair out, mostly because I'm having to relearn so much math I'd forgotten...
