Distance from Angle Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the Distance (D) from an Angle is:

\[ D = \frac{H}{\sin(a)} \]

What is Distance from Angle?

Distance from an angle refers to the horizontal distance measured from a point at a certain height, forming a triangle with the ground.

The distance \( D \) can be calculated using the height \( H \) and the angle \( a \) (measured in degrees).

Example Problem

Given:

Calculate the Distance (\( D \)):

\[ D = \frac{10}{\sin(30^\circ)} \]

Using a calculator or sin table, \( \sin(30^\circ) \approx 0.5 \).

\[ D = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 \text{ meters} \]

Therefore, the distance (\( D \)) from the angle is approximately 20 meters.
