So, in your example, it would be the bisecting line of your equilateral triangle.

Uh, I'll take that bet Sean. Better sketch it out and rethink your response. Oops, I see David beat you to it.
I didn't pick up on the discrepancy in the rule StevenB, but you are correct. I just focused on the part in parentheses about fitting inside an 80 inch diameter circle thinking it was a clarification because it is more restrictive; I'll post a question on Q & A if noone else has. That makes a HUGE difference; it's the difference between the back corners being tangent to an 80 inch diameter circle as I've assumed or being the center of an 80 inch radius arc.
I just posted the question; we'll see. I'll be designing to the more restrictive requirement until I hear otherwise.
