I want to calculate the hour line for a horizontal sundial:
\n" ); document.write( "tan x = (sin 40)(tan 15)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "tan(x) = ~ 0.642788*0.267949
\n" ); document.write( "tan(x) = ~ 0.172234
\n" ); document.write( "x =~ 9.7724 degrees ??
\n" ); document.write( "I don't see any connection to a sundial.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
