what is angle at baseline center point of an oblique triangle cut in half, from apex to baseline center?

177 Views Asked by At

For an oblique triangle with points LTR where L is lower left, T top (apex), and R lower right:

Let C be the exact center point of baseline LR.

If imaginary line goes from point T down to point C, then what is angle TCR? The lengths of triangle's sides are known: LT LR TR The triangle's 3 angles at L, T, R can be derived using Law of Cosines.

But how to get angle TCR?

The law of cosines/ Stewart's theorem gives: $$ TC^2 = \frac{2\, TL^2+2\,TR^2-LR^2}{4} $$ hence you may find $\cos(\widehat{TCR})$ through the law of cosines, too.
