That would be nice. I'm making sure to chronicle certain discoveries for 
future reference. This last problem involved placing an arc of the right 
radius and angle into an Isosceles triangle so that both the end points 
of the arc and points B and C of the triangle would meet. Simple math 
wasn't cutting it, and I ended up sketching out a diagram to find a way 
to arrive at the correct solution.
