Title: Determine 3rd Point of an Equilateral triangle from two other points
Procedure CreateEquilateralTriangle(x1,y1,x2,y2:Double; Var x3,y3:Double);
Const Sin60 = 0.86602540378443864676372317075294;
Const Cos60 = 0.50000000000000000000000000000000;
Begin
{ Translate for x1,y1 to be origin }
x2 := x2-x1;
y2 := y2-y1;
{ Rotate 60 degrees and translate back }
x3 := ((x2*Cos60) - (y2*Sin60))+x1;
y3 := ((y2*Cos60) + (x2*Sin60))+y1;
End;
(* End Of Create Equilateral Triangle *)
