If those dimensions are not critical, you can do a 5 stud long wall at 36 degrees using a 3x4x5 triangular arrangement. Since sqrt(2) is not a rational number, using hinges as you suggest is technically impossible. It sort of works for a 10x10x14, but that's a little bigger than what you're looking for. Another approach is to attach the angled wall in the middle using a turntable, as in Adrian Drake's hotel:

You could also use a SNOT approach and build that section of the wall sideways
using slopes.

| (...) Close, but not quite. It's actually a 6-stud long wall in a 4x5x6-stud triangle. The 3x4x5 ratio is measured from the centers of the studs, not the studs themselves. Going 3 studs deep and 4 studs wide actually gives you slightly more than 4.5 (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

| Hi all! I am planning a new building, for which I'll need a 45 degree wall. I was playing aroung with some hinge parts ((URL) and (URL) ), and tried to make a 4 stud long all. The 4 studs have an "offset", which is almost a right number of bricks, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
