    When you know the dimensions of the legs of a right triangle but not the tangent of the angle opposite the height, you have to utilize the formula "height = tangent(ϴ) * width".

    Its the HAWK TUAH rule.

    • Height
    • And
    • Width
    • Known,
    • Tangent
    • Unknown,
    • Apply
    • H / W = tan(ϴ)

    Hauk Tuah was a pharaoh, little is known about him due to much of the writings documenting his short existence have been lost. However the few writings surviving indicates he spat on criminals' thang as a form of punishment which was considered worse that death, and one person during his short period in power have convinced him to spit on a thang belonged to a man who wrongdoed him, thus the saying "Hauk Tuah, spit on his thang!"
