Sure can Jim.  In the example I gave, If you punch in the keys on a calculator 
thusly:

    .5"  divided by  12 SIN  INV (inverse)   you will come up with the 
apropriate angle (2.4 degrees
in this example).  Basic trig that I use at work every day.  In high school I 
thought it was the
most useless bit of information, so it only took me several decades to find out 
that trig has some
benefits afterall!  :-)
