Let's draw the pairs of Triangles to have a clearer view:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We get 1st Angle \"ALPHA\", which will be very helpful:
\n" ); document.write( "By Trigo Function: \"Cos%28alpha%29=adj%2Fhyp=AB%2FAE\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"alpha=cos%5E-1%28AB%2FAE%29=cos%5E-1%286%2F10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"alpha=53.13%5Eo\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We solve for \"BE\"?, by Pyth.Teorem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"AE%5E2=AB%5E2%2BBE%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"BE%5E2=AE%5E2-AB%5E2=10%5E2-6%5E2=100-36=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"BE=sqrt%2864%29\" ---------->\"highlight%28BE=8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We solve for \"AC\"?, by Trigo function:
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%28alpha%29=opp%2Fadj=DC%2FAC\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"AC=DC%2Ftan%28alpha%29=14%2Ftan53.13%5Eo\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28AC=10.50%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We solve for \"AD\"?, by Trigo function:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28alpha%29=opp%2Fhyp=DC%2FAD\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"AD=DC%2Fsin%28alpha%29=14%2Fsin53.13%5E0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28AD=17.50%29\"
