What do we do with this number?

You can take this number and experiment with the footplate angle that works best for you. Experiment with angles + or - 2 of your measurement. For example, if I have 45 degrees on both sides I'll set my footplate between 43-47 degrees. Narrow in on your angle based on feel, and technical proficiency. Remember you should row at the highest angle which allows for high quality strokes. If the angle affects your technique in a negative way, that's not the correct angle for you.
