    Joining a top section with a 37 degree end angle to a side piece with a 50 degree end angle will result in the length of the side piece being at an angle of

    37 + 50 = 87 degrees to each other.

    The same will be true for the other side.

    If the sides were parallel, then going up one side, across the top and then down the other side will result in a change of direction of 180 degrees. However, in this frame the direction turns 87 degrees at the first top corner and another 87 degrees at the second top corner. This is a total of

    87 + 87 = 174 degrees instead of 180 degrees.

    The two sides diverge at an angle of

    180 - 174 = 6 degrees from each other as they extend downwards from the top of the frame.
