Hi, i have a question in regards to the directional angle calculation.
Ive been having difficulties understanding the calculation. You said alpha is = cos-1 (460/1175) which gave you 67
Then Beta = cos-1 (-40/1175) which you got 92.
When i did my calculation i got something entirely different so could you kindly explain the calculations you did in that part please?
Thank you.
It’ll mean a lot if you do.
