``Re: What is "suuntakulma" in English? Answer: slope angle'' by pahio on 2007-06-08 09:00:04
Correction of my preceding message:
===================================

> I was mistaken, choosing the angle via the below contract, one gets all values up to 90^o (cf. the entry "angle between two lines"):

> textbooks one says that the "suuntakulma" is the _acute_ angle which the line forms with the x-axis, equipped with minus sign if the line descends to the right

"acute" is wrong, it must be "least"! Then one gets all values up to 90^o.
