can 89.99994 degrees be concidered a right angle triangle?

Question

I have an assignment in math where we have to calculate bearings of the angles in a triangle and for one of my angles I got 89.99994. I asked my teacher and he said its ok to make it into a right angle triangle as long as you justify it but I am not sure how to do that.

Answer 1

The only thing you've got to worry about is the precision required; that means how far into space is the star; where angles are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds.

.99994 means 99,994/100,0000. Stick with 1.
