From 6.15 to 12.15 = 6hours = 360 mins
\n" ); document.write( "Using trig ratios tan = opposite/adjacent = 6 ft/ 4.2 ft = 55 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "55 degrees/ 90 degrees = 0.611.
\n" ); document.write( "0.611 x 360 mins = 220 mins
\n" ); document.write( "220 mins/ 60 = 3 hours 40 mins
\n" ); document.write( "06.15 + 3.40 = 09.55
