Apollo was the twin brother of Artemis. He's the son of Zeus. He's the god of sun, light, clarity, and truth. He's important in greek myths due to the myth of "Apollo and Daphne", where he chased a young beautiful water nymph because he got struck by "cupid's arrow", a gold tipped one that cause lust, desire, and love. Daphne was struck by a lead tipped arrow which cause disgust and repulsion. He chased Daphne across the Earth until she became tired and so came to Mother Earth who turned Daphne into a laurel tree, leaving Apollo heartbroken and despaired. Hmm...how sad isn't it?

As a Jew, and because he would have died as a Jew, he would have thought that Christianity was pagan, with all of its similarities to the Pagan faiths that were so common in Jesus's day. Even Hercules had a human mother, Alcmene, and Zeus for a father, and Dionysus had a human mother, Semele, and Zeus for a father. Mithra died for the sins of the people, and on and on....

Euclid of Alexandria (Greek: Εὐκλείδης) (ca. 325 BC–265 BC), a Greek mathematician, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt almost certainly during the reign of Ptolemy I (323 BC–283 BC), is often considered to be the "father of geometry". \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid\n\nIt seems Euclid is the father, by general consent! -\nhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52508.html\n\nEuclid, who is considered the father of mathematics, taught in Egypt at Alexandria.\nhttp://everyschool.org/u/logan/culturalmath/afmathematicians.htm\n\nPythagoras (approximately 582 BC–507 BC, Greek: Πυθαγόρας) was an Ionian (Greek) mathematician and philosopher, founder of the mystic, religious and scientific society called Pythagoreans, and is known best for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name.

> Rhadamanthus (also transliterated as Rhadamanthys or Rhadamanthos) in Greek mythology was a son of Zeus and Europa and brother of Minos, king of Crete and Sarpedon. He was raised by Asterion. He had two sons, Gortys and Erythrus.\n\nAccording to one account Rhadamanthus ruled Crete before Minos, and gave the island an excellent code of laws, which the Spartans were believed to have copied.\n\nDriven out of Crete by his brother, Minos, who was jealous of his popularity, he fled to Boeotia, where he wedded Alcmene. Homer represents him as dwelling in the Elysian fields (Odyssey, iv. 564).\n\nAccording to later legends, on account of his inflexible integrity he was made one of the judges of the dead in the lower world, together with Aeacus and Minos. He was supposed to judge the souls of Asians, Aeacus those of Europeans, while Minos had the casting vote (Plato, Gorgias, 424A).\n\nVirgil makes Rhadamanthus one of the judges and punishers of the damned in the Underworld (Tartarus) section of The Aeneid. "Rhadamanthine" has since come to describe any just but inflexible judgment. (The Aeneid, vi. 566)\n\nThe Kuiper belt object 38083 Rhadamanthus is named after this figure.\n\nBehrens, the head doctor of a Davos sanatorium in the novel Der Zauberberg by Thomas Mann, is nicknamed Rhadamantys.

His mother died when he was quite young.  He was raised by another family until he was 13; after that, the local archbishop became his legal guardian until he became an adult.  That's probably why.\n\nHe is the patron saint of (among other people/things) adopted children.  \n\nBy the way, I had a baby at age 17 who I placed for adoption.  God bless you on your decision to adopt.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (January 69 BC – August 12, 30 BC) was queen of ancient Egypt, the last member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and hence the last Hellenistic ruler of Egypt. Although many other Egyptian Queens shared the name, she is usually known as simply Cleopatra, and all of her similarly named predecessors have been mostly forgotten.\n\nAs co-ruler of Egypt with her father (Ptolemy XII Auletes), her brother/husband Ptolemy XIII, and later her son Caesarion, Cleopatra survived a coup engineered by her brother's courtiers, consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne, and, after Caesar's assassination, aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced twins. She later married Mark Antony and gave birth to another son. In all, Cleopatra had 4 children, 3 by Antony and 1 by Caesar. Her union with her brother produced no children.\n\nAfter Antony's rival and Caesar's legal heir, Octavian, brought the might of Rome against Egypt, Cleopatra took her own life on August 12, 30 BC. Her legacy survives in the form of numerous dramatizations of her story, including William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and several modern films.

John Keats was born in London as the son of a successful livery-stable manager. He was the oldest of four children, who remained deeply devoted to each other. Thomas, his father, was the chief hostler at the Swan and Hoop. After their father died in 1804 in a riding accident, Keats's mother, Frances Jennings Keats, remarried but the marriage was soon broken. She moved with the children, John and his sister Fanny and brothers George and Tom, to live with her mother at Edmonton, near London. She died of tuberculosis in 1810.

Heron's formula can only be used when the sides are given. The formula is:\nArea = square root of[(s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]\n\ns = (a + b + c)/2\nwhere a,b and c are the sides of the triangle.\n\nSorry, but there really isn't enough information to work with.

Several ways. The first that comes to mind is to figure the area with Heron's formula (area = sqrt(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)), where s = (a + b + c)/2). The area can also be figured as 1/2 base times altitude, so you know the altitudes of the triangle. The altitudes give you right triangles where you know the hypotenuse (a side of the triangle), and a leg, so you can compute the trig functions of all the angles. Then the angles can be computed as arcsin or arccos of the angle (arcsin(altitude/side))
