Hi, and thanks for replying! My problem is a variation on the convex polygon puzzle, so my rectangle was just a canonical example (because right angled triangles are slightly easier to work with)....

Yes, the gap between probably needs trigonometry to find d. In other words the two left cylinders and two right cylinders are known, the other two are the same x distance d apart, one is the LL + d,...

I solved this by the way. WIth a little help from a math forum I was reminded that trig identities have another use; by expressing my problem as sin x = a - y = opp ------ --- 2r + w hyp tan x = b =...
