[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1559940, member: 30902"] You're confusing sides and points. The Capitalized letters A,B,and C are points. The lower case letters represent the sides. Whether your angle is up or down the lengths of the sides remains the same. If the shooter is Point A and the Target is Point B, the horizontal distance is still the length of side b which is the distance between Points A and C. If you can remember back to Geometry class we're working off of the Pythagorean Theorem here. Up or down the horizontal distance remains the same. [/QUOTE]
