Can't be both can it? SO if a= the angle of the inclined plane relative to the ground plane, why do you need the extra plane to calculate this angle?
b = is the angle of the relationship between the where the plane I quoted above from when it directly goes into the ground plane (low point) vs where it actually is in degrees - relative to the angle this makes on the inclined plane.So b really isn't an angle with a specific geometric location, but the difference between two other angles, or the difference between the same geimetric angle in two different positions, right? This would be the "how open does the book get" question? If it is the difference between the angle of Jen's plane to the IP at the low point and the angle of Jen's plant at the top
c = The hinge action plane off from the horizontal eg - Horizontal hinge action = 0 degrees and Vertical Hinge Action = 90 degrees
The equation is - ill write this like your doing it on a calculator
a divided by 90 times b minus c

To simplify then,
a= the angle of the inclined plane relative to the ground plane
b= the difference between ? Jen's Plane at position 1 and Jen's plane at posiition 2?
c = The hinge action plane relative to horizontal or parallel
x=(a/90)*B-C
A labeled graphic would be very helpful
