@MookyTroubadour I could very easily be wrong (I have dyscalculia), but I think that's more of a trigonometry question. If nobody can tell you how to do it, that might at least give you some idea of where to look.
But now I want to know how to do it, too. I have to go ask questions.
@MookyTroubadour My spouse - who is a human calculator - is working on this. I said your choices for the "walls" are going to be either equilateral or isosceles - determined by the height. So I think for the angle at the apex to be 90*, they have to be equilateral. Because I think isosceles would give a more narrow angle at the point.
They said, "That's not necessarily the case," and went back to looking things up.
@weirdfizz I think @northernbassist by way of Alfred got me the answer. It chagrins me that it looks like the answer is “half”. You wouldn’t believe the mental gymnastics I was attempting to get an answer. Half. Sheesh. I’m 3D printing now to confirm.
@MookyTroubadour @northernbassist You got an answer that works and were brave enough to ask for help...double win!
@weirdfizz @northernbassist thank you!
@weirdfizz @northernbassist so having tried a few prints, I can answer the question. The correct answer is 21. I have no idea what formula would have told me that, but here we are.
@MookyTroubadour @northernbassist One thing I know I remember correctly is that Pythagoras could explain this.
@weirdfizz I never took Trig either. I didn’t have very good math teachers. It took me years to realize that they sucked. I finally found a college algebra teacher that clicked with me far too late.
