And solve for hypotenuse. Need a calc that computes cos or sin.

..all the chemistry people who practice the black arts of transmogrification. Merlin would be proud.ImageMagick has a command named "mogrify" that is truly amazing (truly magic). I used it to size a batch of 80,000 images for a website project once. That piece of software is the most powerful command line program I ever used. It is open source and even our military uses it.

All triangles have a total of 180 degrees on the internal angle.I think that the Budget Committee in Congress could somehow find a way to prove you wrong.

Problem was there weren’t enough receptacles to plug in a whole room of calculators in 1970. ;) Calculators were not used at the Navy school until about 1978.

Sorry, but this information is only privy to the scarecrow.
To: Thane_Banquo
Serious waste of time with unnecessary extra steps that also cause an additional loss of accuracy.

Good grief I barely got out of Algebra and my teacher wrote our math text books.

If the 17 degree angle is directly across from the 104.625, the length of the hypotenuse is 357.85 inches. If the 73 degree angle is directly across from the 104.625, the hypotenuse is 109.40
Hope this helps.

Heh.
My dad not only boasted, but proved, that he could beat me doing complex math equations on his slide rule while I was pecking it out on a scientific calculator (this was circa 1975). I could beat him in decimal places on the answer... but he could get it to a tenth accuracy - and fast!
He also boasted (and proved) that he could shoot a tighter group with his hunting bow than I could with my Ruger .44 at the same distance.
A good man, was my dad.
