Can someone please confirm the following.
If my window has a head height of 10 feet, then my zone floor area would be:
Twice the head height (20) times the length of the 60 degree line?
In this case if the 60 degree line was 20 feet long.....would the zone floor area be:
20x20=400 square feet?????

The depth of your zone is established by either twice the window height or if you have an overhang or interior obstruction then you must use the 60 degree angle which would intersect the lowest point of the overhang or interior obstruction. The length of the zone, side to side would be from wall to wall.
