Anyone know how to calculate the compound angles for cutting a pigs ear handrail for an inside corner?

The rail on both walls is to be fitted at an angle of 20 degrees from the horizontal. The corner is 90 degrees.

I thought it would be simply a cut of 45 degrees and 20 degrees on both ends but I was wrong as the outer part of the rail does not match up, even though they but up correctly.

Are you sure the stairs are at an angle of 20 degrees?

That sounds very shallow for stairs, I'm sure mine are around 40 degrees.
 
The banisters are to be at 20 degrees due to the corner steps. They change to 40 degrees when they then follow the normal treads.
