When measuring the angle between 2 planes, may times it is very close to 90degrees.  If the measured angle says 90.2 degrees, how do I know if the measurement I am looking for is not really 89.8 degrees???

Angle between 2 planes

Mimics always displays the smallest angle, so the measurement will always be smaller than 90 degrees!
 
Indeed, if the angle is close to 90 degrees, say 89,5 degrees, you can't tell whether the angle you are interested in is 89,5 or actually 90,5. If you think this is vital information, please make a suggestion in the Idea Box on the homepage of this UC. Please tell us why it is important (what are you using it for) and how you would like to see it visualized.
