Algebra.Com's Answer #154326 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
