Trig question.

[ChrisBurrows]

Hello,

If I know the angle and the hypotenuse, what MMF syntax do I use to retrieve the opposite side?

Sin(angle) = opp / hyp
Sin(45) = x / 20

What syntax will give me then length of x?

Thank you

I feel a face-palm coming on...

sin(45)*20 = x
(multiply both halves of your equation by 20)

Haha I feel silly. Actually, I worded my question incorrectly.

I wanted to position a point on a swinging rope and I needed to work out the opposite length based on the angle and the hypotenuse and I couldn't get the syntax correct.

I figured it out though: Opposite = Hypotenuse * cos(ANGLE-90)

It was for an example I was making for another thread. Here it is if you are interested.
