You can calculate it but I find it much easier to just look at a reference chart.
For example, I just calculated an angled cut to make on my table saw using the Pythagorean theorem. One of the cuts needs to be 3.19 inches. My tape measure is accurate to a 32nd of an inch so I look up 0.19 in the column below.
I see that 6/32 matches, which equals 3/16. So I need to cut a piece 3 & 3/16 inches long.
My next cut wasn't so lucky. I needed 2.08 inches and the closest I can get using my tape measure is 3/32. It's a tad long but it'll work for what I'm doing.
If you need more precise measurements then you should use something more accurate than a tape measure.
