Indirect Measurements

Indirect measurements are used when a direct measurement is not
possible. Indirect measurements are calculated from measurements
of the hypotenuse and one side of a right triangle (triangle with a 90
degree angle). For instance, if calculating the height of a wall from the
ground, measurements would be taken to the top of the wall (hypo-
tenuse), and perpendicular to the line between the two measurement
points at the wall base (side). From these two measurements, the
distance between the two measurement points is calculated.
Indirect measurements are less accurate than direct measurements.
For greatest accuracy with Indirect Measurements, hold the micro
LM-100 in the same position (only changing angle) for all measure-
ments. Make sure that the laser beam is perpendicular to the line be-
tween the measurement points when measuring the side of the
