Viet Theorem: Solve Math HL Problem, Explained & Resources

[danjroman]

Does anyone have a clue of what the Viet theorem is for? I did some research and apparently i could use this to solve a problem for my math PRoject (IB Math HL Year 2). The thing is, there seems to be nothing at all in the net, I am really surprised actually. So if anyone can gladly explain what this is and its fundamentals or even direct myself to a link that will be really appreciated. Or is that coz I am spelling it wrong??
