I started out with 𝑎^2 + 𝑏^2 = 𝑐^2 before I stepped away for dinner and when I came back I realized there was an easier way.

Math doesn't lie, but the spatial tools were a close second!

Great challenge, didn't realise that Alteryx returns radians in its trig functions. took a while to realise 😅.

Love reliving my youth to figure out angles and hypotenuse information.

Here's my solution. I really struggled with the calculation of the angle, but other than that I was able to build it out fairly quickly using both spatial and non-spatial tools. By the looks of other's workflow I think I overcomplicated the workflow. Oh well, I was happy I got most of it on my own, with the exception of the angle calc.
