So I am trying to form algebraic equation for off center turning. If I go A units away from center, and tilt the piece B degrees, the "fulcrum" will be C units from the pivot point on center axis....
Anyone good at alegbra?
Thanks!

SOHCAHTOA!
Tan(b)=c/a (opposite over adjacent)
C=a*tan(b)
Mr. D was right, I would use this one day!

Holy crap! This has trigonometry in it! According to mathisfun.com! Haha! I got some homework to do!
Thanks a ton Rick! You're the man!

There are plug and play Trig calculators all over the internet. https://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-trigright.asp
YES!! THANK YOU RICHARD!
My iPhone has a scientific calculator when I turn the calculator app into landscape orientation. My guess is that many other smart phones do the same thing.
