Newbie question: how to solve for a given var in this set of equations

Posted 10 years ago

I have entered the following equations into Wolfram and it seems to understand them. I'd like to solve for t in terms of the other scalars:

  A={ax,ay}; B={bx,by}; C={cx,cy}; 
  B'=(A+C)/2+t*(B-(A+C)/2); 
  d=(A-B').(C-B')/(Norm[A-B']*Norm[C-B']

)

I've tried variations on the Solve[] command but I am not sure how to express this. I'm also curious as to why Wolfram always says that variable C is protected in the above.

thanks, Pat
