The cut pieces can match up properly only if the lengths of the cut
edges are equal. The only way to make that happen is to cut each of
the pieces at 1/2 the angle between them.

BTW, a good way to avoid confusion with questions like this is to take
a digital photo (borrow a friend's camera - and friend - if necessary)
and post an article with photo attached to the
news:alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking newsgroup.
