Corner cabinet formula needed

Post by Mike Snodgrass »

On a corner angled front cabinet.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to determine the width of the back on a 16" deep upper, who's angled front measures 18" wide.
I'm hoping someone can give me a formula.
Thanks in advance!

Well, you know that the front needs to be 18" and the sides are 16".

Remember that A square + B square = C square.
Take 18(C) * 18(C)= 324/2=162 The square root of 162 is 12.73". 12.73" plus 16" = 28.73" This is the length of the back.

Hope this helps.
