trigonometric functions

[Guest]

How do i calculate the inverse tangent in a query? I am am trying to
calculate the angle between the hypotenuse and the other line of a triangle:
angle = inverse tan gent of (opposite/adjacent)

opposite/adjacent gives you the angle in radians. You need to go to your
Trig book and get the formula that converts radians to degrees.

ATN(opposite/adjacent) will do it. The answer will be in Radians, of
course.
