    Math (geometry problem)

    OK who can figure this out? I can get it close enough to work for our application, but I want to figure out the math to do it for real. Need to take a piece of 1/2" wide flat and make a rhombus to fit into a 4"x8.25" rectangle. The right and left side are perpendicular to the 8.25" side of the rectangle and parallel to the 4" side of the rectangle. If I could figure out how to get one side length or one angle of the rhombus I'd be set, but I can't figure it out. See what y'all think.

      You lost me at rhombus.

            I can get it to within +/- .0002 when it really on needs to be +/- .125 Hell my machine barely cuts that precise

            But I just want to know how to do it legit!

                Length would be 8.94" and angle would be 22.66*

                  No...Rhombus is what happens with Momma when the kids are away.

                    This free triangle calculator computes the edges, angles, area, height, perimeter, median, as well as other values and a diagram of the resulting triangle.


                    this or something similar is what I would use

                      How'd you come up with that?

                      Looks like its basically correct, except its rounded.

                        Let me break out my crayons and see if I can come up with something.

                          Thats just basic trig. I can do that. Don't know how to apply it here.

                            I could do it with a construction calculator. Same as figuring rafters. I assume you are needing the length of the rhombus?
