Maths noob here.
I'm trying to express Mathematically whether an articulated vehicle can turn from one road to another. Let's suppose the turn is 90 degrees, the road it's turning into is 6 metres wide. The vehicle is an articulated bus at 18 metres long, and 2.5 metres wide. How can this be expressed in terms of formulas and so on?

L needs to be more than 18 for all t between 0 and 90 degrees.

Forgot to mention that the bus can "bend" at 80 degrees, with the forward section being 10 metres, the rear section being 8 metres

\sqrt{2.5} + \frac{6-2.5\cos(t)}{\sin(t)} + \frac{6-2.5\sin(t)}{\sin(90-t)} > 18
for all t between 0 and 90

Funny thing OP actually wrote "articulated vehicle", otherwise it looks too much like middle school geometry homework.

OP here. It is actually a real world scenario, but I fail at Maths so hard that the anons of /sci/ have come to my rescue. It is indeed the Flying Standard in Coventry, if anybody wondered/cared
