    Sine, Cosine and Tangent question

    Interior and exterior is just a fraction of 360 degrees. Sine, Cosine and Tangent


    5.9m or the wheel width is 'Adjacent'

    Two numbers needed for 'Hypotenuse' and 'Opposite'

    Using of the 6.1 from hitch as the 'Hypotenuse' seems reasonable. You added the 90 degree right angle to make it easy

    We have two sides so you know the formula. Sing It loud

    An easy way to do this calculation is knowing the sides of a right angle triangle are always in the ratio of 3:4:5.

    Main article: Pythagorean triple
    There are several Pythagorean triples which are well-known, including those with sides in the ratios:


    3: 4 :5
    5: 12 :13
    8: 15 :17
    7: 24 :25
    9: 40 :41

    Rather than just run over some shrubs I asked the parks head maintenance guy what he'd like me to do, turn right and ruin some plants or turn left and squeeze between a light pole and a van hitch, "turn left" he said and when i stopped due to lack of clearence with said pole, he just walked over, pulled it out of the ground and waved me on !

    There is, of course, one question as yet unasked: How did you get the thing in there in the first place?? Skyhooks?

    Pedro is many things, but a fool is not one of them.
