Measurments

Example:
Flat base with an 8" piece of metal welded at a 90 degree angle.
When a square is placed against the 8" piece I'm out of square by .065 at the top. How do I convert the .065 into degrees?

SIN (ANGLE)= 0.065 / 8

ANGLE = 0.5°

If you want it accurate, that 8" needs to be measured more precisely...
