Twostrokeking Posted June 28, 2012 Report 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 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.

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.
