Measuring sides (Pythagorean theorem)
If you measure the two sides of a right triangle, the length of the third
side is calculated automatically.
Use this mode when you cannot measure the distance because there is
an obstacle or there is no elevated target surface.
To obtain side C (Fig. 13)
1 Select side mode. (See "Selecting a measuring mode")
2 Measure the length of side A.
Follow the instructions for measuring the length in area mode and
