you have the initial triangle's sides so you can use tis to calculate
the angle in radians with sin() cos() or tan()
Then on the new one you can use sin or cos with the tan to solve for the
opposite or adjacent side. Then use either the other (sin or cos) or
tan with the first side value to calculate the missing side.
The other way would be to get the ratio of the 2 sides, then reverse out
the function.

hi,
I'm working on a function to redraw overlapping dots on a graph keeping
the visual changes to a minimum. I just can't seem to get my get my
head around this today:
the hypotenuse of a pair of coordinates
e.g. [71,36] and [139,111] = 101
i want to expand the hypotenuse to 150 and update my coordinates
accordingly.
fuzzily,
Julian
