Need help with angles

[cwest]

Forgive me if I ask this wrong. I am only looking for the " how to solve it "

I need to know how much longer the green line would need to be if it was to match the same angle as the purple angle. If you need to insert numbers, use 10 for green line and 20 for purple. If you need angles, green angle is at 60* and purple is at 30* Thank you

I am afraid we are losing something in translation here.

The measure of an angle does NOT depend on the lengths of the rays making up the angle.

Please post your problem verbatim as it was given to you.

Subhotosh Khan, there is no verbatim question. I am working on a vehicle that has a custom lift and the upper and lower control arms are at incorrect angles. I need them to match. I redid the photo in hopes I better explained it. The red circle is a fixed location and can not move.

So you want to know the length of "?" in your upper diagram.

In the upper diagram the green side G = 10/cos(60) = 20.

You have an isosceles triangle. SO

"?" = 20 + 10 = 30"

Notice that I have not used your bottom diagram.

May be I misinterpreted your question?!

Sorry, I misinformed you in the photo.

If the green line could swivel on the red circle up towards the the purple dotted line. How much longer would that green line need to be in order to end at blacl line.

Yes, diagram is just for reference of angle.

Would it be best and easier if I showed you a photo of actual suspension of vehicle?

Im not explaining it well enough I fear. Do you think it would be easier if I showed you an actual photo of the suspension so you can see what I am trying to poorly explain?

Clearly, nobody can answer such a question about helpfulness of a photo, until after they see the photo.

There is no need to post duplicate messages. Have you seen the Read Before Posting announcement?

I think sometimes clear words are worth more than a picture. The picture probably wouldn't show what it is that you actually want to do.

Are you in effect asking how long the dotted purple line is? If so, that can be worked out from the answer that was given.
