OK, lets say you have 40'x40'x60' tall building. On the top of building you have parapet that is 30'x20'x15' tall.
So, when I design the components and cladding on the parapet, what is a? (10% of least horizontal dimension). Is it the 40' or 20'?
P.S. Why is that all of the examples are always simple blocks when in reality it is not

If you continue on in that section it also gives minimums, so any way 10% of 20 ft is 2 ft. 10% of 40 ft is 4 ft, and as stated in that section the minimum is 3ft. I would use 4ft for a (40ft length) and move on.
