Mathematics For Metal Workers
I shall try to tell in simple words some calculations with triangles what
you have to know in a workshop.
Most people have problems with angle calculations. That’s the reason I
starts with that subject.
Angle calculations
The basic what you must learn is : SOT CAT TOA ( in English )
When you know these words you can calculate every angle like this.
Example : CAT
This means :
Line AB = 4
Line BC = 2
Cos ( B ) = ( BC / AB )
Lengthcalculation
With Pythagoras.
Lets calculate.
Line AB = 5
Line BC = 3
Now we want to know what length is AC
( AB * AB ) = ( AC * AC ) + ( CA * CA )
AC * AC = ( 5 * 5 ) – ( 3 * 3 )
AC * AC = 25 – 9 = 16
AC = Root ( 16 )
AC = 4
Weight Calculations.

Cálculo de Ángulos
Cuando maneja estas siglas UD. puede calcular cada ángulo de3 la
siguente manera.
Ejemplo : CAH
Esto significa :
Calculemos
Lado AB = 4
Lado BC = 2
Coseno ( B ) = ( BC / AB )
Cálculo de longitud
Con Pythagoras
Calculemos.
Lado AB = 5
Lado BC = 3
Es muy sencillo.
( AB * AB ) = ( AC * AC ) + ( CA * CA )
AC * AC = ( 5 * 5 ) – ( 3 * 3 )
AC * AC = 25 – 9 = 16
AC = Raiz( 16 )
AC = 4
Cálculos de peso.
Otro tipo de cálculo es: Cuanto pesa un pedazo de material, debe saberse
el peso específico `por litro ( 1 decímetro cúbico)
