If the tip of the triangle is pointing to the middle of the red rectangle and the angular is really 45 degrees (it looks like 90 degrees) it should be something like this:

Math.tan(90-(45/2)) * (450/2)

If the angular of the red rectangle is 90 degrees it should be this:

Math.tan(45) * (450/2)

the Red box is actually a square with the anchor point top right, rotation 45, position at the edge of the blue box size
the blue box height, width is dynamic sized

I wanted to understand this, is there any tutorial to explain this?
Thank you very much

In both of your examples, the distance you’re looking for should be half the height of the blue rectangle.
