The shortcut they give in youtube is to subtract depth from what you see on sidescan.
But is it really the Pythagorean theorem that is applicable here?
The distance I see on the sidescan is the true distance to the object.
If I know the depth of the object then the horizontal distance can be inferred using the Pythagorean theorem, right?
Asking because I am good with numbers so this is something I can do accurately enough in my head
Some people just like catching. I like fishing.

Subtract the depth from the SI distance set. You’re being smarter than the technology.
