Don,
As I think you are aware, I have a TruPulse 360. Love it! And yes, you are right the missing line routine does give the right answer.

This is a simple 2-shot routine that instantly calculates the distance, inclination and azimuth direction value between any two remote points. Using our exclusive TruVector Compass Technology™, you can now obtain the best possible azimuth accuracy regardless of what pitch or angle you shoot from. No other compass laser can do that.", it would appear that the TruPulse 360 is using the sine/sine method, to determine the 'missing line', or in the case of your solved problem attachment, the 'length' between top and bottom? -Don Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 21:22:42 +0000 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [ENTS] Re: Bank of solved problems ENTS, Attached is the first problem that I promised. It deals with determining trunk length of a leaning tree and is presented in a Word document. The solution utilizes the law of cosines. Incidentally, Paul Jost has been a good advocate of that law. Maybe we can think up a problem or two. Bob Windows Live™: E-mail. Chat. Share. Get more ways to connect.
