#0, A triangle puzzle
Posted by cmdavidson on Apr-01-02 at 08:50 PM
The object is to determine the length of a side of an equilateral triangle which contains a point within that is 3 units from one vertex, 4 units from another vertex and 5 units from the third vertex.

I believe there is a mathematic approach and a geometric approach. I would be interested in any feedback.
