Re: Angle help

Hello,
What is the preferred method for woodworkers to increase lengths and keep
the angles the same. For instance, let's say a saw horse is twelve inches
tall. The legs are angled at 15 degrees. The builder wants the same saw
horse design but at it 27 inches tall. I would figure the new leg lengths
based on a triangle. What other ways of figuring lengths on angles are
there for woodworkers? Are there any websites with this information? I
could not find any.

My "preferred" method these days is my CAD program. Takes less time to fire
it up than it does to do the math/trig, at least at my age.
