Hello everyone,
I'm trying to calculate the total height of a fence, which went well until I had to include the top rail. I wasn't a math whiz in school and I haven't gotten any better since! Therefore, I need a little help with what I think is a simple calculation if you just know how to do it.
Seen from the side and in cross-section, the end of the post where the top rail will rest forms a right-angled triangle. I plan to have a 20-degree slope on the top rail, so the final angle will be 70 degrees. The post used is 95x95mm.
How do I proceed to calculate the height of this part?
Thanks in advance!

Tan 20 x 95 gives you the height.
