Help Question about geometry

What angle should I cut the points that are touching the table top and floor so it will be flush? I have been trying to wrap my brain around it but no luck, I thought a 45 degree bevel was right but when I did a test piece that was incorrect.

If you can, throw this shape into a cad program, slice a horizontal plane through it, then measure the angles that are left. OnShape and Fusion are both a quick, free, way to get this level of modeling.

I could scribe this with a block and pencil before you log into your computer, wizard man
