How can I do this triangle?

[dmerchant (Don)]

Using Carbide Create how do I draw a triangle that has 2 sides 30mm long, 1 side 7.83mm long with an angle of 15 degrees between the 2 30mm legs?

I drew 3 rectangles. 2-30mm x1 1-7.83mmx1
rotated one of the 30mm 15 degrees.
placed the in the triangle. Then traced with the line
function.

One way to do this would be in Carbide Create:

Draw a line:

copy-paste the line:

Rotate it 15 degrees:

Done

Drag it into alignment with the original:

Draw in a circle with the center at the vertex:

Then set the radius to the desired distance:

Select everything:

and use Trim Vectors:

then remove what is not wanted:

until one arrives at:

OK

Deselect the two lines:

and delete the remaining arc:

Then draw a line to compleat the triangle:

Done

Select everything:

Join Vectors
