In the scaffold, the intermediate bracing supports every 26 feet while the the lowest brace being no greater than 20 feet.

<h3>What is scaffold?</h3>

Scaffolding simply means a temporary structure that's used to support a work crew.

In this case, the height is 83 feet and the base width is 5 feet. The height to the width ratio will be:
