Need help calculating the length for a cut

Not sure if I'm just slow today or what, but I can't figure this out. Building a work bench onto a wall using 2x4s. Bench comes 21" from the wall and I'm trying to make the angle cuts to go from the outside 2x4 to the wall (basically a triangle). Can anyone tell me how to figure this?

Got it at 30"! Thanks guys! My geometry really stinks!
This was just a quickie. Just got divorced and the wife got the house with the big garage and my big workbench. Just needed a place to work on my guns so I threw this together. Also used it as an excuse to buy a new miter saw then realized I have no place to keep it...


Thanks again for the help!
