COORDINATE GEOMETRY
INVERSE ROUTINE (calculates distance from
point to point)
Sqrt((X1-X2) + (Y1-Y2))^2
CALCULATE DELTA X
Delta X = (sin(azimuth)) * horizontal distance
CALCULATE DELTA Y
Delta Y = (cos(azimuth)) * horizontal distance
CALCULATE DELTA Z or elevation
Delta Z = (cos(zenith angle)) * slope distance
REDUCE TO HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
(sin(zenith angle)) * slope distance
This section is open to suggestions
from students.
