second line.
The result of the volume calculation is displayed in the third line.

Indirect Measurements

Indirect measurements are used when a direct measurement is not
possible. Indirect measurements are calculated from measurements
of the hypotenuse and one side of a right triangle (triangle with a 90
degree angle). For instance, if calculating the height of a wall from the
ground, measurements would be taken to the top of the wall (hypo -
tenuse), and perpendicular to the line between the two measurement
points at the wall base (side). From these two measurements, the dis-
tance between the two measurement points is calculated.
Indirect measurements are less accurate than direct measurements.
For greatest accuracy with Indirect Measurements, hold the micro
LM-100 in the same position (only changing angle) for all measure-
ments. Make sure that the laser beam is perpendicular to the line be-
tween the measurement points when measuring the side of the
