Help with project measurments.

[Richardlang92]

I am looking to understand the forumlar to solve a specific equation for a project im working on.
As you can see from the image I am looking to solve the angle a and the length of b.
From there I am able to solve everything else.
Hopefully there is enough info.
Thanks in advance.

I think the following thread might be helpful. It has a good diagram. The final answer is given, without calculation, at the end because the OP wasn't a student...

If you're interested in the actual calculation then let us know. I (or others here) can help you to obtain the result yourself if you're interested.
