Rods angle

I am calculating the size of my rods center to center but I need a few clarifications, I know when the machine is homed the rods should be at a 60 degrees angle, is this just an approximation or should it be right at 60 degrees?
When the effector is all the way to the edge of the printing bed it should be at 20 degrees? Is this approximated or right at 20 degrees?
I am guessing it should be as close to those degrees since if I do a 20 degrees angle exactly with the effector to the edge of the printing bed when homed instead of 60 degrees I get 63 degrees and if I do an exact 60 degrees when homed then I am short to the edge.
For what I can put together I should go with the 63 degrees homed to ensure I can reach the edge of the bed at 20 degrees, am I correct or am I missing something? Thank you for the help.

Ignore the resting angle, it's irrelevant.
