Indirect Measurements Indirect measurements are used when a direct measurement is not possible. In- direct measurements are calculated from measurements of the hypotenuse and one side of a right triangle (triangle with a 90 degree angle). For instance, if cal- culating the height of a wall from the ground, measurements would be taken to the top of the wall (hypotenuse), and perpendicular to the line between the two meas- urement points at the wall base (side). From these two measurements, the dis- tance between the two measurement points is calculated. Indirect measurements are less accurate than direct measurements. For greatest accuracy with Indirect Measurements, hold the micro LM-400 in the same position (only changing angle) for all measurements. Make sure that the laser beam is per- pendicular to the line between the measurement points when measuring the side of the triangle. All measurements need to be to points on a single straight line.
