<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2640718, member: 24633"]I have always enjoyed math, and mechanical drawing, drafting & AutoCAD have been my hobbies going back to the 7th grade. Measuring the degree of these angles isn't rocket science to me. I use my "mind's eye" to calculate the measurements. A horizontal line through the center of the circle represents 0 & 180 degrees. A vertical line represents 90 & 270 degrees. A diagonal line from corner to opposite corner is 45 to 225 and 135 to 315, respectively. I just imagine that the circular opening of the 2x2 is the face of a clock and the hours and minutes represent the degrees of an angle. You don't have to be that precise in measuring the degree of rotation of a coin. It's not like pointing at the moon and ending up on Jupiter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this will help you.
