The hungry frog - triangulation

The concept of triangulation and depth perception is demonstrated through a frog tracking it's prey. In order to catch the fly, we have to find the length and direction of the triangle's median. The problem is represented in two ways: - Trigonometry - we know the length of a triangle side, and the two flanking angles. We can find the median properties using the law of sines and the law of cosines. - Analytic Geometry - we know the coordinates of 2 vertices, and the slopes of the respective sides.
