    This document discusses using trigonometry to calculate the angle of impact of a blood drop at a crime scene by measuring its width and length on a surface. It reviews right triangles and the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent. It explains that with a blood drop, the width is adjacent, length is opposite, and hypotenuse is the total distance traveled, and the inverse sine function is used to calculate the angle of impact given the width and length measurements. It includes example calculations and practice problems to determine angles of impact from blood drop measurements.
