Large triangle: (approximately) 63.435, 63.435, and 53.130 degrees

At one time I thought that the 30-60-90 or 60-60-60 degree rulers were interchangeable with the Tri-Rec rulers.

They are NOT.
Thanks for backing me up ;-) I taught geometry for a while and I wonder if any of those students who thought that subject was a waste of time are now quilters!
