Main Pitch Angle = 90° – C2m = 90° – 31.66048° = 58.33952° Adjoining Pitch Angle = 90° – C2a = 90° – 16.91055° = 73.08945° Total Deck Angle = 90° – R3m + 90 + R3a = 172.74880°

returns ... C5m = – 55.60704° * Note that DD = 165.80462° ... the backing angle is negative and oriented as per a Valley

returns ... C5a = 71.75778°

The Dihedral Angle measured between the fascia equals 90° – SFBm + 90 + SFBa = 90° – 48.48307° + 90 + 32.33233° = 163.84926° The Dihedral Angle measured between the planes about the skewed line at the Hip Rafter foot equals 90° + C5m + 90° – C5a = 90 + 55.60704° + 90° – 71.75778° = 163.84926°

Both methods of calculating the Dihedral Angle produce equal results.

returns ... 180° – P2m = 154.26958° 154.26958° – P3m = 154.26958° – 25.00045° = 129.26913° ... the Angle on the Main Side Fascia

returns ... 90° – P2a = 22.71991° 22.71991° + P3a = 22.71991° + 18.42210° = 41.14201° ... the Angle on the Adjoining Side Fascia

Main Pitch Angle = 90° – C1m = 90° – 39.51822° = 50.48178° Adjoining Pitch Angle = 90° – C1a = 90° – 39.00085° = 50.99915° Total Deck Angle = 90° – R2m + 90 + R2a = 159.10493°

returns ... C5m = 5.84571°

returns ... C5a = 10.30503°

The Dihedral Angle measured between the planes about the skewed line at the Hip Rafter foot equals 90° – C5m + 90° – C5a = 90 – 5.84571° + 90° – 10.30503° = 163.84926°

Equal to the result of the previous Dihedral Angle calculation.
