Ummm...
The 2xN slopes are 45 degrees. In LDraw measures, the sloped surface is
20LDU deep x 20LDU high. Of course, the 4LDU lip at the bottom of the part
throws off the overall slope when you build with these pieces.
The sloped surface on the 3xN parts are 40LDU x 20LDU. Which (if I remember
my trig correctly) gives an angle of approx 26.57 degrees.

Your benefactor is nameless? Poor benefactor, going through life with no
