Question 174585: My teacher assigned a problem called Dilcue's Chair. She said that it required some research to answer and I have tried to research the answer online all week and I have found nothing. The problem says that the chair was built such that the legs, segment HN and segment AO are attached at their midpoint R. Even though the legs turn out to be unequal in length, the seat of the chair, segment HA, is parallel to the floor, segment ON. Can you please help me solve this problem? Thank You.

Do you have any way to copy the picture of what you are looking at. Hard to picture what R is. If the HN and AO are the legs then the only midpoint of those segments would be a line between the two of them or a line that connects their midpoints and I dont see any reason why one leg cant be longer than the other it would just make at least one of the legs form an angle other than 90 degrees.
