Another way to figure out a triangle (more efficient)
<?php
$a = 10; // a
$b = 15; // b
$angle = 45; // angle opposite side c
$c = (sqrt(pow($a, 2) + pow($b, 2) - $a * $b * cos(deg2rad($angle)) * 2));
// side c = 10.613894770933
?>
yes im good arent i?
cos
(PHP 4, PHP 5)

( float
$arg
)

parameter. The arg
parameter is in radians.
Parameters
-
arg
-
An angle in radians

Find the side of a triangle using two sides and an angle:
<?
$a = "10"; // length of side a
$b = "15"; // length of side b
$angle = "45"; // angle opposite side c
$c = (sqrt(pow($a, 2) + pow($b, 2) - $a * $b * cos(deg2rad($angle)) * 2));
// side c = 10.613894770933
?>

Convert degree to radianus, radianus to cos.
<?php
// Degree
$degree = 360;
// Convertion
print cos(deg2rad($degree));
?>
