      Line segment-- and those are points, not variables.

        Crap, it is. That's embarrassing. The lines are parallel. So there are similar triangles in there but A/.5 in my sketch is proportional to (4-B)/8.25, not 4/8.25. To many variables to solve it my way. I will decline to tell you where I got my engineering degree...... Thank goodness for Solidworks.

                If I am understanding the info correctly, that is not a rhombus. Read this description. The fourth line, tells me your piece is not a rhombus.

                  Yup it’s a parallelogram. Dunno why I thought rhombus.

                    Farther up in the post. Just some pieces for a fence panel cut out of plate. No reason to make it this complicated other than I enjoy it.
