60 degree measurements for 6' stalls?

I have to stripe a small parking area for our company fork trucks. I have 75' along the baseline and figured I could get 11 stalls in this area. I want the stalls to be about 15' deep because of the length of the trucks with the forks. I know how to square my lot and how wide my stalls would be if I had 9 or 10's, but what will they be for 6's? remember that these are at 60 degrees. any help would be greatly appreciated. stuck in Florida

I'm sure somebody has a formula for that, but in a pinch you can snap a line at your 60 degree angle, measure 90 degrees out from your snapped line (6' you said?) and snap another line. Measure the two lines at your baseline.

On a 60 degree angle it is 1.1547 per foot of the actual width you desire. So take your 6' times 1.1547, if you have a 60 degree angle you should end up with 6' actual width.

Told ya someone would have a non-gheto way to do it.

Round to 10'4". Much easier to calculate. 10'4'', 20'8'' 31'0''. This is for a 9' stall.

Rounding up is good common sense, the question was answered from the trig calculation to the best of my ability, imagine trying to be that precise with a lumber crayon or a piece of sheetrock! Finding the actual width can be done "manually" as described previously or you can be a notch above the rest and be able to figure any width at any angle as rare as it actually is.

No harm meant. Just trying to make it easier for a newbie. No disrespect for callin you a newbie.
