I've prepared a doc on basic trig to go on my site. Reason being it's come in handy with the chassis. Just want someone in the know to vet
it before it goes online. Any takers?

All looks good. Very clear, you should write text books for a living!
Without meaning to be nosey, what are you using the trig for?

Bookmark made.
I had downloaded the Machinists Calculator, but it was a trial version and the license has expired. Cheers, very handy.

all you need is "Silly Old Harry, Caught A Herring, Trawling Off Africa", and a calculator, and you're off to a good start! And
remember that the root of 2 is 1.414141. Helps you work out the length of fiagonal bracing.
but assuming the maths is correct, the theory seems ok. Maybe a bit complex for car builders though?!
actually, isnt the opposite and adjacent defined by where they are in relation to the angle in question, not by length as stated in the second
paragraph?! this woudl have a significant difference to the result.

lengths and angles of the tubes. Have made a few mods, nothing too significant, but am at a stage where I know what's left to go on and
don't really need to use the book for reference. Besides, it's good prctice.

Well at least i've got an excuse. It's been 10 years since I was in a math class not paying attention.

Where's Chrisg when you need his opinion.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Not looked at the links, but I'm sure 'opposite' and 'adjacent' are exactly what they say on the tin... ie the sides
opposite and adjacent to the angle you are measuring. The remaining side is the hypotenuse (spelt correctly?).

Yeah, you're absolutely right. The hypotenuse is always the longest side and the opp and adj are relative to the angle in question.
Anyone able to vet MKII?
