Double Pythagoras
In this function, Pythagoras Theorem is applied to two right triangles
that have a common leg. This makes it possible to calculate the
length of the base side of any triangle. This function calculates the
distance between two arbitrary points and is especially useful for
inaccessible measurement points.

2. Now measure the left hypotenuse (largest distance to the left)
and then one leg (shortest distance to the measurement

The corresponding line of the "Double Pythagoras" triangle
icon flashes for the individual measurement values. Right after
the third measurement, the calculated length will be shown on
the bottom row
of the "Double Pythagoras" triangle icon stop flashing. The in-
dividual measured values will be shown on the top 3 rows of
the display.
Note: Please note that angular error (no right angles) will lead to
incorrect results. Ensure that the measured distances lie on a plane
(alignment).
