OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 53.1?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Hang on. I didn't do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm getting something close to 1 radian, I think that's about 50-something degrees. I didn't use a calculator, so can't claim much precision here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well sounds about right, but im going to wait and see what Mertsj comes up with for it :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I agree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, yeah, I'd like confirmation too. I punched it into Desmos (www.desmos.com/calculator) and got 53.1º too

OpenStudy (mertsj):

53.1 degrees is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :) thanks to the both of you
