Rich,

Did you get my idea about using a dot product?  Combine that with
distance formula y=SQRT((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2) for the center point
and the off-plane point, and maybe setting the distance from any
two corners to the off-plane point equal, should give you three
equations in three unknowns (solvable, in theory <g>)!
