COMMENT

Ozanam's approximation states that in any right-angled triangle the number of degrees in the smallest angle is very nearly equal to the smallest side times 172 divided by the other side plus twice the hypotenuse. The approximation is remarkably accurate and for the angle 33.239565... degrees the approximation is exact.
