almondjoy Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Thanx I figured it out. atan(9/12) = 36.87 Quote
JD Mather Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 You could also do it with simple geometry. I almost always use geometry to solve any math problem that can be solved with geometry. Parametric constraints and dimensions make this even more powerful. Quote
Dadgad Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Welcome to the forum. As long as you remember that the first number is the RISE, and the second the RUN of the roof you can just draw it, and let the software supply the angle. Whoops, yeah, what JD just said! Quote
Organic Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I feel stupid now lol. I thought this was some special American building thing when I googled it (not something I would use normally); I didn't know it was just basic trigonometry Quote
