Jarvis Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 My cabinet shop builds window bench seating for kitchens. I am ultimately trying to determine overall projection into the room. The basic parameters are angle of the back (A), projection from the wall (B) and height to the window sill (C). What I am trying to calculate is how deep the base portion (D) would be. I am thinking this has something to do with the pythagorean theorem but my math skills are not big enough to be sure. Angle (A) is typically 10º though can vary. Is there a way to derive Dimension D from a filemaker calculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Could it be = C * Tan ( Radians ( A ) ) + B ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvis Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Comment, Thank you so much for that formula! I just went out to the shop and measured a bench we have in production. I compared it with what your calculation said it should be and baddabing-baddaboom we built it just like the Filemaker says we should. You are really talented at this but I think you missed your calling. You should have been a Cabinetmaker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I believe the thanks should go to Euclid and Archimedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
