If the angles are known, then trig is the tool. If the angles aren't
known you can measure them and use trig. If you can't measure one of
the angles, you can copy it using a bevel gauge or with a pair of
dividers.

If h is the desired height of the sawhorse and L is the length of a
leg, then you can calculate L = h / sin 75

I have a trig "cheat sheet" stashed away at
http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/CNC/trig.html that you're welcome to use.
