I am very afraid of math. I was originally going to be an
anesthesiologist, but didnt want to take the math courses.
So I became a history major and now a webmaster... tee hee
Actually, I was ok with the name, sense of humor, and pic. It was the
Chewbacca that made me choke onmy bagel.

Okay, so you make it past my name, my sense of humor, and my picture,
but a
little bit of trigonometry frightens you? There's something wrong
here...
Hmm. Must be mathephobic....

: Whether the calculation comes out in degrees or radians will depend
on
: the
: arcsine/arccosine/arctangent functions used. In CF, it's returned
in
: radians (as it should be!).
:
: To convert radians to degrees, simply multiply by 180/pi.
:
: So, in your example, the angle A in degrees would be
: 180/pi*arcsin(x/z)
: or
: 180/pi*arccos(y/z)
: or
: 180/pi*arctan(x/y)
: which (should) all come out to be about
: 63.4 degrees.
:
: did that help?

: : Oh dear, I must be a little worse off than I thought.
: :
: : Taking a look at what you wrote has yielded little to me. I think
I
: may be
: : confused over units, and perhaps converting radians to degrees
: improperly.
: :
: : Would you mind stepping me through your formulas?
: :
: : Say if, in triangle ABC, where B is a right angle and z is the
: hypotenuse,
: : when BC is x and AB is y, we have a value of 5 for y and 10 for x.
: :
: : How do I apply these calculations to determine the angle of A in
: degrees?
