USING YOUR LASER MEASURER (continued) Pythagoras measurement • T o calculate the unilateral distance of a triangle pythagorean mode can be used. When taking measurements of the triangle, ensure the length of the right side is shorter than the length of the hypotenuse. If not, the instrument will display an error signal. • T o ensure the accuracy of measurement, take measurements from the same starting point of the first order hypotenuse. Then follow with the measurement of the right side. Please follow the instructions according to the method required. (See diagrams on pg 11-13 to determine the appropriate method). 1. Calculate the side of a right angle triangle Press the area / volume / pythagoras button three times to enter pythagorean mode. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as follows: • Press the read button to measure the length (a) of the hypotenuse.
