If you are using the upside down method of cut, you do not need a compound miter saw. But check your corners as they may not be true 90 degree angles.
Tom in KY, there are crooked houses everywhere.
I bought a tool called an angle divisor at Menard's for about ten bucks that helps in measuring such. It actually seems pretty accurate or at least close enough for that kind of measuring. The link below is what it looks like and you can check your local stores if interested. --- Steve
Yep,
I've got a Starrett ProSite Protractor 505A 12. The link below will wrap and probably not work.

gives me the angle of the corner and the miter angle.
Tom in KY, cool tool accumulator.
I am putting that on my Christmas list for next year! --- Steve

Watch this:
If you put a long link between angle brackets, "", you'll beat the wrap.
I second the Starrett protractor for carpentry, but don't forget to cope the inside corners!
