Instructions

I want you to write a complete program on your own to profile this part. To pass the test,

you must use cutter comp. I have taught you all the fundamentals to write this program,

and the only suggestion I will make is to test the program a segment at a time as you

write it. That’s the great advantage of having Ray Henry’s backplot program to work

with.

Change a couple of dimensions and make one end square and take another test.

There isn’t any sense in entering the next section unless you can easily write these

programs. If not, go through that section again and again until it is second nature.

Back to school

We’re on the move again and leaving route g41 for a while, but I’m sure we’ll return. We

are headed back to school for a refresher class on trigonometry, more commonly called

trig. Today all you need is a $10 calculator that has trig functions or a hook-up to the

Internet where they have a site that will solve your problems instantly by entering any

two known sides or a side and an angle other than 90°. See the handy trig calculator at

http://www.pagetutor.com/trigcalc/trig.html

It just doesn’t get any easier than this, or you can use the formulas below and a

calculator. All you have to enter are any two known things about the right triangle you

want to solve other than the 90-degree angle which is always present.

Basic Trigonometric Functions

Also: c²=a²+b² c=√(a²+b²) a=√(c²-b²) b=√(c²-a²)
