For the Google Earth folks out there, how many right triangles can you find in the image? In my area of South Florida, it is not uncommon to find areas like this. Bearings of N0E and N90W or S45E are not uncommon. The GE coords are in the bottom right if you wish to explore the area or use the ruler to prove the right triangles. I have a number in mind, wondering what you will come up with.

My guess it there aren't any, they are all slightly off 90degrees

Maybe they are not the .01 but I count 4. Using the GE ruler, calibrated on a football field 😉 they come out pretty darn close.

I don't know about right triangles, but around where I survey, I sure run in to a lot of wrong triangles!
Edit: And I count 4 as well!
