sin(8 degrees) = 8/100 ? More like 8/50. But nonetheless, that is a horrible mix of units. And who even knows how many feet in a mile?

- dozzie 10y agoJust remember that five feet is about one millimile.
- ChrisGranger 10y agoThere's a mnemonic device for remembering this: five tomato, five two-eight-oh, 5280 feet in a mile.
- franciscop 10y agoOh I was totally wrong, in Spain slopes for roads are usually in % of m(up)/100m(length) [1] so I misread it as 8m up for every 100m of length, still not sure why. Thanks for the correction :) [1] http://recursostic.educacion.es/gauss/web/materiales_didacticos/eso/actividades/geometria/trigonometria/pendiente_carretera/img/pendientes.gif http://recursostic.educacion.es/gauss/web/materiales_didacti...
