Cross-Section Triangle Dimensions: the dimensions of the triangle created by cutting the Backing Angle (right triangle of C5a)
Rise = .41917
Run = 6
Slope = 6.01462
Projected Triangle Dimensions: the triangle of the Backing Angle projected to the sloped face formed by cutting the compound angle at the Valley rafter foot (right triangle of R5Ba)
Note the NEGATIVE sign and the location on the stick of the projected Rise
projected Rise to Line of β = – .43102
projected Run to Line of μ = 6.27900
length along Slope of MIT = 6.26418
