Twostrokeking Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Angles are one of those things I have always had problems with. So I drew a picture in paint and circled the angle I need help with. How would I find the angle of that so I can cut it and make it flush with the face??

Zapanater Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Oh shit that's math. Easiest thing is to use a protractor. Or better yet model it in goggle sketchup. Then measure the angle. It'll be very exact. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZTYBRN Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Oh shit that's math. Easiest thing is to use a protractor. Or better yet model it in goggle sketchup. Then measure the angle. It'll be very exact. That's the easiest way. Or you can do maths... Maths is funner. -Ignore any "outside lines" so you're left with just the trapezoid shown below. -Measure the bottom line. We'll call this number X. -Measure the slanted line (the top). We'll call this Y. (The units don't matter, as long as they are the same as the above step.) -Go to windows calculator. Got to View > Scientific. Make sure "Degrees" is selected (top left). -Type in X/Y (for example: 24/28.6). Hit enter to get the quotient. -Click on Inv (right under degrees). -Click on Sin-1 (down and to the left of Inv). -Your answer should appear. This is the inside angle of the top left corner.
