	La longueur des segments formant un triangle		1999-10-05
		From Michel Provencher: Connaissant la longueur des segments formant un triangle,comment détermine-t-on chacun de ses angles si: il S'agit d'un triangle rectangle Sachant que la somme des angles d'un triangle est de 180 degrés et sachant par conséquant qu'un des angle est de 90 degrés (triangle rectangle) il reste donc, 90 degrés à partager entre les 2 angles restant. Si les 2 segments formant l'angle droit sont de même longueur on obtient un angle de 45 degrés pour les angles restant soit 1/2 angle droit ce qui ne me pose évidement aucun problème. Quel relation, S'il y en a une, y a t-il entre la longueur de ces 2 segments et les angles restants. il S'agit d'un triangle quelconque Answered by Claude Tardif.
