Hi MJ,

I will use your # 1001 in a way you will never believe possible, and then explain how the whole of the GP's dimensions were put together.

1001 / 231;

= 4333 (point removed).

Add;

43 + 33;

= 76.

The design angle at the junction of the slant sides taken at the middle of the opposite sides.

In other words the angle of the slant sides (at the middle only) is 52°.
