Hint: Draw a line from the vertex perpendicular to the baseline. You now have two right triangles to work with and the lengths of the sides of those triangles.
That should be a plenty big enough hint.

Where A, B and C are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and alpha is the angle oposite side A. Since you want to find the vertex, you would use A=28, B=22 and C=22, then use the inverse cosine function to solve for the angle.
(edit): wow, you guys are fast.

Starsnuffer, once you calculate it, please post what you got for whichever trig ratio you used and the final angle. Now I'm curious, but I don't want to do the math. Posts: 26071 | Registered: Oct 2003
