Did a job today a replacement, (stripes) What happened is that the original fitter fitted the carpet square to the wall in the hall and although the stripes lined up with the stairs, as you looked down the stairs the stripe kicked to the left, not a lot but the customer wasn't happy. Original fitter basically give her b.s about angles and wall being of ( in other words Foff) and he's not a people person anyway. Anyway job sorted punter thinks I'm the bee's knee's..... On the offending wall the pattern runs off 3 tufts over a distance of exactly 3 meters (handy that) so working on the basis that 3tufts is 1 cm what is the angle in degrees that the wall runs off? Go on exercise you brain it'll take you back to you school days... No prize just the self satisfaction of working it out
Maths, the subject that brought me out in a cold sweat as a scoolboy. So having taken all the angles and numbers into consideration,my answer would be ihaventgota****inclue
It's all about sine, cosine and tangent. It's been donkeys years since I've had to calculate something like that. At 5 am on Sunday morning I'm not to bothered
Work it out as a right angle triangle. The adjacent is 300 (3m) and the opposite is 3. Then use inverse tan to work out the angle
Convert it to the same denominations (3cm and 300cm). Oops, thought it was cm out. Note to self. READ THINGS PROPERLY
Thought that when I saw your first answer.... TonyA was so close that I have count that as correct as well.. I calculated. 0.191 degrees or can be expressed as 11 minutes and 24 seconds.. I suspect we used different methodology but came up with the same answer. The point in the question was that the customer was a maths teacher as asked how far the wall was out and was gobb smacked I even knew how to work it out..proving just because you work with your hands, your not thick
