Re: difficult triangle problems
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Hi;
I am sorry, yes. I was getting the area of the unshaded region!

Re: difficult triangle problems
I checked online but could not find what those brackets meant. Agnishom told me they mean area of the triangle.
