Hi Guys
I just joined the forum.
Is there a simple Trig function to work out the Opposite dimension of a benchtop when I only know the Angle, and the Adjacent dimension.
For example, when I need to work out a benchtop. most of them are on 45° walls which means the bisected angle is 22.5°
We always know the adjacent dimension which is the benchtop depth and is usually 600mm deep.
When I am on site measuring, I need a quick way to work out the Opposite dimension IE the void at the back to the wall.
When I only know the Adjacent dimension and the angle.
If somebody could explain to me in simple english how I input this into a calculator, I would be very grateful.
Sorry for the really dumb question, but this has been bugging me for ages.
Thanks for any Help
Dodge
