Consider a triangle with corner points A, B and C.
On the interval AB we construct a point P in such a way, that CP is perpendicular to AB.

The triangle has the following properties:
(1) The angle between AC and BC is 90 degrees.
(2) The length of the interval AB is L.
(3) The length of the interval CP is H.

Question 1: Find the angle between CA and AB.
Question 2: Find the length of the interval AP.

At ADT Dither and I posted several mathematical puzzles in the World News and Nonsense forum. These posts were well received and appreciated by many people. I can only hope and assume that the same is true at EBI.

Yeah, This section reflects ADT's. It's about "everything else".
People can post whatever they want, as long as it's not "political" crap. Political theads are a-ok but pro-Bush, anti-US rants are not.
