Easiest way would be to go around in a circle using r sin z and r cos x and make
a regular polygon.  Step up the side of the cylinder and zig-zag up from your
old polygon to where the new one will be.  Using an even number of sides will
make finding the radius and doing the zig-zags easier I think.

Once you get that worked out, you can likely back-calculate to how large the
triangles are and see if changing that will overcomplicate things.
