Right-Triangle Calculations

The top row of keys provide you
with built-in solutions to right trian-
gles. The solutions are available in any
of the linear dimensions offered on the
calculator. Thus, you can solve right
triangles directly in feet and inches,
decimal feet, meters, etc.
Any value of a right triangle can be
found given two of the four variables:
1) Rise, 2) Run, 3) Diagonal or 4)
Pitch.
Pitch is a permanent entry that can
be entered as the Rise per foot (meter
for Metric Mode), as an angle, or as a
ratio/percentage ([Conv] [Pitch]).
