Quick comprehension check

When using the "up and out" technique, imagine the head as a circle. How does changing the angle of the clippers as you move 'out' relate to creating different radii on this circle, and how does this affect the length of the hair that is cut? If you hold the clippers at a 45-degree angle relative to the head, and then change to a 30-degree angle, how does this affect the length of the hair left uncut, and how does this affect the angle of transition between different lengths?
