coordinates of 3rd point (vertex) of a right triangle knowing lengths and direction

216 Views Asked by At

In a last post I wanted to know the 3rd point of vertex, actually I have some similar problem ....

I think I have all data.. for example...:

  1. 3 vertex cordinates in order to have the direction(gray arrow):

     v1 = (-0.117, 1.06,0.53)   v2 = (0.82, 2.06, 0.76)  v3 = (-0.63, 2.06, 0.76)
    
  2. distance between vertices:

    d1 =  1.125    d2 = 1.43   d3 = 1.46
    
  3. distance between v3 and new vertice:

     d4 = 0.8
    

image example

actually I know that this problem have two possible solutions

also I tried with the last equation and with some 2d equation, also I search in all thread of math stackenchage without any good result.

thanks for any help.

It is not clear what you are trying to solve. You use d3 twice. Do you tey to calculate a distance?

The following diagram might help you define better your need:

CE is perpendicular to CB and in the same plane.
