Measuring an angle (Tuesday, December 21, 2004)

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Measuring an angle by:Lasse Eskildsen
Hi, I'm trying to measure an angle of a triangle in vb.net, but I'm not getting it right. This is my triangle (kind of): A l1 1 l - - - - C B I know the lengt of all 3 sides, and angle C is always 90 dregrees. I've been working with the Tan() function from System.Math, but I can't make it work :o( Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Lasse

	Lasse, Quiz for you: How many radians are in a Degree? Remember the Math.Tan function works with Radians not degrees. Hope this helps Jay P.S. for the answer to the quiz look up Math.Tan in the on-line help.

	As well as the others Remember this Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
