pythagoras theorem help needed
hi,
i am trying to find out position of an object inside a room using excel with pythagora's theorem. i really have no experience of working with excel before. if i am in a room which is 70m*70mt, i need to divide that room into 7 rows and colums each of 10mt. in this case i divide it into 7 rows and colums of 10cm each with excel. then if i am able to see what position i am in the room, i mean which colum and row, using pythagoras theorem i will be able to find where my actual position is inside the room. i really have no clue how to do this. pls help me on it. |

pythagoras theorem help needed
Well, I'll help you do what looks like a class assignment.
What is the relationship that Pythagoras' Theorem (PT) describe? What elements of the relationship map on to the rows and columns you described for dividing the room? Now, you know two of the three components of the PT. Calculate the third. In the context of the room problem what does this third component mean? Do you have to make any assumptions so that this third component describes your position in the room? -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article .com, madhan77 @gmail.com says... hi, i am trying to find out position of an object inside a room using excel with pythagora's theorem. i really have no experience of working with excel before. if i am in a room which is 70m*70mt, i need to divide that room into 7 rows and colums each of 10mt. in this case i divide it into 7 rows and colums of 10cm each with excel. then if i am able to see what position i am in the room, i mean which colum and row, using pythagoras theorem i will be able to find where my actual position is inside the room. i really have no clue how to do this. pls help me on it. |
