Hi i am new to this site and my math skill is not on pair with you guys. so i am hoping for some help as i am more of a programmer not a math guy.
i want to put in a shape for the base be it a square or what evere based on coordinates, i would like said base area to extrude at a chosen angel to then hit my ground and give me the volume between. my chosen program arcgis has a tool to calculate were the points hit but only at an 90 degree angel.

here is an exampel of my question:

area of base 17045.5505
length 620.3470
at point X= -24.5298 Y= 139.8299 Z= 1
at point X= -19.0033 Y= 89.0244 Z= 1
at point X= 76.4213 Y= 89.0244 Z= 1
at point X= 84.5269 Y= 27.5425 Z= 1
at point X= 176.6356 Y= 27.5425 Z= 1
at point X= 163.7404 Y= 157.5013 Z= 1

the Base is drawn at an elevation of 1
Angel of extrusion is set for 1:2
The ground sloap from 3-4,5 in elevation can i put in the values and get new coordinates that hits the ground at my chosen angel?

Your picture and list of undefined data do not clarify the question. Please tell us more about what you are given, what needs to be true, and what you need to find.

Some of your terminology is erroneous. An angle (not angel!) is measured in degrees or radians, not as a ratio like 1:2; perhaps there you mean a slope (gradient). The slope of the ground (not sloap!) would be given as a ratio of some sort, not as numbers like "3-4,5", whatever you mean by that.

A well-labeled picture, and a fuller explanation of the goal would help.
