Alright. I seem to have found my self stuck in the midst of a proverbial clash of mathematical titans. I am very thankful for all the replies that this topic has received, but, sadly, I haven't "solved" the problem myself. However, that is due to my lack of English mathematical grammar, as I don't know what some of the words mean. So, if anyone is willing to put in some extra time, I don't know what the following words mean, or at least not in this particular context;
Vertex
Hypotenuse
Perpendicular
Now, I apologize for my lack of maths grammar, but as previously stated, all my mathematical knowledge is in Icelandic.
