Any angle can easily be created with a carpenters square and a straight board as indicated in the figure and table above. The table is generic and can be used for all types of length units.
Example - Alpha angle 22 degrees, units on carpenters square in cm
Form the table above:
A = 1
B = 0.404
C = 1.079
If the units on the carpenters square is cm and the length of the sides of the square is 50 cm - the most exact angle can be made by multiplying these values with 50:
A = 1 (50 cm)
= 50 cm
B = 0.404 (50 cm)
= 20.2 cm
C = 1.079 (50 cm)
= 53.92 cm
