I use android and just got and tested the free "triangle calculator" from "Google Play." I got the same results from it for the angle and rise that I got from doing the numbers myself, though only to the hundredth place (good enough) Still, I needed to measure on a flat surface or I would not know that i have just over 4" to work with, filling only 2.1" with the rise at the trailing edge of the diffuser. I need 2" more of "filler" at the back of the diffuser.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
