The formula to calculate the baseboard angle (θ) is:
\[ θ = \arctan\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right) \times \left(\frac{180}{π}\right) \]
Where:
Let's say the length of the first baseboard (\( L_1 \)) is 100 cm and the length of the second baseboard (\( L_2 \)) is 50 cm. Using the formula:
\[ θ = \arctan\left(\frac{50}{100}\right) \times \left(\frac{180}{π}\right) \]
We get:
\[ θ = \arctan(0.5) \times 57.2958 \approx 26.57 \]
So, the baseboard angle (\( θ \)) is approximately 26.57 degrees.
A baseboard angle refers to the angle formed between two baseboards that meet at a corner. This angle is crucial in carpentry and interior design to ensure that baseboards fit together seamlessly and create a polished look. Accurate measurement and calculation of this angle are essential for achieving a professional finish in any room.
