Geocache Description:

Standard disclaimer:  Above coordinates are as real as flying pigs! 


So, to get the REAL coords, just search your brain ... you DID pay attention during Prof. Protractor's Geometry class, didn't you???

TA-NG.LED  TRI-AN.GLE

TA  =   (Right angle degrees, divided by 3) + 3

N    =   (# of equal sides in an equilateral triangle) + 2

G    =   # of acute angles in an equilateral triangle

L     =   # of equal sides in an isosceles triangle, that is NOT equilateral

E     =  (# of degrees in one angle of an equilateral triangle) divided by 10

D     =   (N  +  G) - 1

 

T     =   (# of obtuse angles in a scalene triangle) -  1

R     =   In a right triangle, the name of the side opposite a right angle.  {The name contains a number in the spelling; subtract 2 from that number}.

I      =   L  multiplied by 2

AN  =   In ABC, if A=34 degrees and B=46 degrees, what is the measure of C? {Drop the left digit}

GL   =   (# of degrees in one angle of an equilateral triangle) + 15

E     =   # of equal angles in three isosceles triangles
