A place to geek out about engineering, fabrication, and design. All disciplines are welcome. Ask questions, share knowledge, show off projects you're proud of, and share interesting things you find.
Rules:
- Be kind.
- Generally stay on topic.
- No homework questions.
- No asking for advice on potentially dangerous jobs. Hire a professional. We don't want to be responsible when your deck collapses.

There is a ton of ways to solve this, but I believe what might help you the most is a tool that allows you to a) solve these kinds of problems repeatedly, with variations in the setup and b) helps you re-learn the basic math.
Therefore, I suggest you setup your problem in Geogebra:

You can introduce an interactive slider to vary one or more parameters (e. g. extension of the linear rod) and immediately read all other values, like lengths and distances.
