I suspect the crux of your answer lies in the 3-4-5 triangle. [NOT! read on to see why this isn't true!] The complements of 112.5 and 157.5 degrees are 67.5 and 22.5 degrees. The sum of 67.5 and 22.5 is 90 degrees. Add add a 90 degree angle and you (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)
