Help me out on my box rite quick!

[Bumpin Expo]

Well im making a wedge box and I need some help on the slant height. I was never good at math at all so i need some help. I made a drawing of the enclosure with the dimensions. Can you tell me what the length of the slant will be and what angle to see my saw at to make the slant cuts? thanks

19.14"

thanks a lot man. So that will reach from the top of the box to the bottom like showed in the little caption above? Also what angle will i set my saw blade to to cut the angles on the ends of the wood? thanks

[MDIFYTD]

yeah that'll reach from the top to bottom. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

I don't know if it matters what angle you cut it at as long as they equal 90 degrees. so you could do 45 and 45 or 30 and 60 etc

You should angle your blade the same angle as the slope of the piece of wood..... respective to the orentation of the wood. Also, be sure to make the board longer than 19.14" because angle cutting the board will take trial and error. ;)
