@douglaswinslowcooper  how?

anonymous · Answer

If the depth of the lean-to is 10 feet and the gradient is 0.35 = 3.5 ft/10ft, then
the height of the front is 3.5 ft.

Oh, sorry, forgot to write that in~
Anyway, the width is 1.5m

anonymous · Answer

If the width is 1.5m, then the height is (0.35)(width) = well, you know.
