I am confused why you get different results for the square root of an angle depending on whether you use degrees or radians: sqrt(25°) = 5° = 0.087266462599716474 radians sqrt(25*pi/180) = 0.66055454960100179 radians If angles are dimensionless numbers, then: degrees_to_radians(sqrt(25°)) should equal sqrt(degrees_to_radians(25°)) but they don't. How do you interpret the square root of an angle? What does it mean? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
