TRIANGLE
sin(75)/sin(45)
Just my luck, I have the answer in Degrees, guess who has the same answer in Sines!
The answer is (1 + \/3) / 2 meters
or approximately 1.36 meters
First, determine the measures of the angles
using 3x + 4x + 5x = 180 degrees.
The angles measure 45, 60, and 75 degrees respectively.
(1) You can solve the problem by basic geometry if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the 75 degree angle to the opposite base (the longest side). This altitude divides the original triangle into two smaller triangles (a 45-45-90 triangle and a 30-60-90 triangle). You can now determine the measures of all the sides.
Thanks to Mark -
(2) An alternative method is to use the Law of Sines to set up the problem.
Call the length of the short side S and the length of the longest side L.
Then sin(75) / L = sin(45) / S
Since S = 1 meter, sin (75) = .9659258 and sin(45) = .7071,
it follows that L = 1.366 meters.

Thoh:
eat dates and sundaes (sundays)
...heard this on some star trek episode
Good answer, but is it as good as: Get "dates" from the calendar and water from the (bed) "springs."
Q. If you were locked in a concrete room, with no windows and no doors, and all you had inside the room was a table and a mirror, how would you get out?
A. Look in the mirror, see what you saw, take the saw, cut the table in half; two halves make a "whole", then climb out the "hole."

Seven workers, Amie, Benny, Carol, David, Eric, Franklin, and Grace have a day off every week, no two of them on the same day.
You are told that Amie's day off is the day after Carol's;
that David's day off is 3 days after the day before Eric's;
that Benny's day off is 3 days before Grace's;
that Franklin's day off is half way between Benny's and Carol's;
and that Franklin's day off is Thursday.
Which day off does each worker have
