If the base line is 2.3 and the two base angles are 40 degrees, how long are the other two sides?

Good answer.

[Bushmaster]

= 2.3 x sin 40 deg /sin 100 deg.

A number would have done.

[Feral_Girl]

Of course now that someone has beaten me to the answer *cough* next begs the question of..

Why?

[Mikeyboy]

Equilateral surely...

As a roofer I'd hope you could work that out yourself

Oh dear, maybe not.

More likely than 1.15 I would've thought.

[groucho]

Lots of answers.

It's whatever you can dream, young man. Why let conformity limit the heights that we can reach? Man will never soar above the ties of mass and matter when accountants with calculators tell us what our triangles much be.

Be free. Have a rhombus shaped roof.

No sauce for me. Tee-total. You think both myself and my car can have a drink problem at the same time?
