Trimming Both Lines
The two lines are joined by the rounded corner which moves as you move the cursor. This lets you vary the dimensions of the corner.
You can also click when you are satisfied with
the corner dimensions. Both lines are trimmed at the points of tangency
with the corner. |

Optimizing the Operation By Multi-Selection |

You can create several corners just by
multi-selecting for example, the rectangle endpoints and enter a radius
value in the Radius field (Sketch tools toolbar).
Four corners are created at the same time with the same radius value.

Double-clicking on Formula displays the parameter driving the radius value of the corners you have just created. |
