Polar coordinate technique

EXAMPLE

X Y Z

22˚

Point Description @D<A

1 Starting point 2,4

2 Find the polar coordinate 1 to 2 @6<90˚

Find the polar coordinate 2 to 3. Copy the 22˚
3 @8<22˚
degree angle to the next corner

4 Find the polar coordinate 3 to 4 @10<0˚

Find the polar coordinate 4 to 5. Calculate the 360˚ - 22˚ = 338˚
5
angle. @8<338˚

6 Find the polar coordinate 5 to 6. @6<270˚

Find the polar coordinate 6 to 1.
X Cos 22 = X/8 @24.84<180˚
1 X = 0.927 x 8 = 7.42
22˚ or C<enter
Y = X = 7.42
X + Y + Z = 7.42 + 10 + 7.42 = 24.84
