Does 10.7' sound about right for the diagonal of something that's
5x9.5'?

I'm not very good at math and was trying to figure out what the
Dancing Light gear tarp/poncho would be if set up on the diagonal
over my HH.

Thanks

• 5 squared is 25 9.5 squared is 90.25 add them to get 115.25 Take square root to get 10.7 something Looks like you are right on. :] Ralph

5 squared is 25
9.5 squared is 90.25
Take square root to get 10.7 something
Looks like you are right on. :]

• You got it. Sounds like you already know it, but you can get the exact diagonal by calculating the square root of the sum of the square of both sides (which

You got it. Sounds like you already know it, but you can get the exact
diagonal by calculating the square root of the sum of the square of
both sides (which comes out to 10.735 in this case).

I've used the Equinox Poncho Tarp with Extension over a HH with good
results. I'm getting a HH Cat Tarp because I've come to realize, for
my particular taste, that a poncho on a diagonal doesn't create
much "livable" space underneath in inclement weather. The weight
savings is great, though! I posted pics under "HH with Poncho Tarp."

58" x 114"
127.9" diagonal

After I get the MacCat Tarp, I think I'll try using the poncho as a
GI in cold weather.
