Math Nerds of The OT

Need help with some plaques I'm setting up at a downward angle or upward ( depending on which side you start from), we have an angled wall we are putting them on.

6 plaques total - 2 big ones at 9 inches by 7 , small ones 7 by 5.

I want to put them at a double parallel slope as such



Any math nerds give me a formula so they line up correctly? Eye balling them ain't going to work

Your dimensions suck.

9x7 and 7x5. Landscape or portrait?

You don't need math to do this.

Start on the right. Big. At the base of the big one and a fixed distance over, you put the top of the next one.

Then move the same fixed distance from the base and mount the small at the height of the pervious small's base.

Start the second row with the base of the small even with the base of the big on the right, and right edge of the small even with the left edge of the small on the lower row.


EASY!
