You are viewing a single comment's thread:

  1. Area = 1/2 DG * FG + 1/2 GE * FG = 1/2 FG ( DG + GE)
  2. FG/DG = tan(1.126) = 2.0979
  3. FG/GE = tan(0.330) = 0.3425

The smallest integer for FG is 1 (excluding 0, since otherwise all other values are useless)
setting FG=1 in 2) and 3) to solve for DG and GE, then adding those into 1) gives
Area = 1/2*(1/2.0970 + 1/0.3425) = 1.698
can this be right?!
