The Uberproblem

MIN_ALPHA = 75

MAX_ALPHA = 100

AREA = 512

Distance = X

MaxDistance = AREA / 2 = 256

Point A (0, 75)

Point B (256, 100)

Point C (200, ???)

A => d = 75

y = mx + 75

y - 75 = mx

(y - 75)/x = m

m = (y - 75)/x <= insert Point B

m = (100 - 75)/256

m = 25/256 = 0,09765625

y = (25/256)*x + 75 <= insert Point C

y = (25/256)*200 + 75

y = 94,53125

Agreed?

So let me reword (or rather, word) this:

A triangle ABC in the coordinate plane has vertices A(0, 75) , B(256, 100), C (200, y). Angle A is between 75 and 100 degrees. The area of the triangle is 512. Find y.

Comments: You attempted to find C by finding the intersection of x=200 and some line y=mx+b through point A. However, by saying that point B was on the line, you have found the intersection of line AB with the line x=200, which is not point C.

AREA is not the area of a triangle, but a length, the diameter of a region. At least that's what Uber told me. All three points are part of a line, and it's about interpolating an alpha value with given extremes on both borders of the region in question.

Please do excuse me, then, for my interpolation of your words.

94.5? Yes.
