With this function, you can put your entire logic into one long
mathematical expression and then click on "EVALUATE" and get your
answer. Since the calculator uses radians, you will need to include
the number of degrees per radian (57.3) in your calculations. Here's
an example of what to enter for a height of 24 km and a radius that
you determined to be 240 km:
57.3*atan(24/240) |
| You may choose to just use this calculator without knowing any trigonometry. If you want a brief review on angles and sines, cosines, and tangents, here is a great web site that covers the basics in an understandable way. |
