if there is anything ive learned doing physics, read the problem very carefully. even then i still skip shit and do the wrong thing.

if you found the angle to be 297, subtract that from 360. i get -81 degrees. that seems pretty close. let me know if that works

but if you need a calculator to subtract 297 from 360 you wouldn't notice :baby:
