No ****. I'll try to figure out what I was thinking about in a minute or so. Maybe... It works some of the time - for 35 degrees, slope is 70 percent. Just be thankful they weren't trying to measure the angle in radians. ROUGHLY half or double. Granted, precision counts for a lot.

From 0 to 20 degrees, tan() is also roughly the same as sin(), so you throw that page out of your CRC math tables. |
