angles greater than 90 degrees
hi all & new here. hoping you can help out. we are trying to install baseboards in a bedroom and all is good until we hit the two weird angles in the room. One angle is 155 degrees and we can't figure out how to handle this. I just know the final answer is super simple...grrr anyway, we are finding conflicting info. one site tells us to: 180 - 155 = 25/2 = 12.5 and this should be the angle of both cuts & the other site says this: 155 - 90 = 65/2 = 32.5 and this should be the angle of both cuts arrrgggghhhhh & I got an A in geometry 14 years ago!!!! anyway, your input would be greatly appreciated and I have a feeling we will be hanging around reading up on this groups interesting posts!!! frustrated in alaska, amber & jason
Try those angles on scrap pieces of wood to see which site was right. Message: 23 Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 05:27:52 -0000 From: "Amber Steinfort" <asteinfort@...
