I need to figure out the taper angle on a piece of wood. Can someone
help me out?? The piece is 18 7/16" long. The top is 1 11/16" wide and
the bottom is 2 3/16" wide. What angle would I need to cut that?

Thanks


I believe that would be arctan(0.5 / (18 7/16) ) But I am curious why
you need to know the angle. You can cut it from the measurements you
have.
