Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x)+(3x+13)=90
if you look at the beam, it includes a 90 degree angle.
7x+13=90
distributive property
7x=77
subtracted both sides by 13
x=11
divided both sides by 7 to isolate x
4(11) 3(11)+13
44 33+13
36
4(x) is the larger angle
We know that
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
c=²=a²+b²
where c is the diagonal of the wall
a=12 ft
b=6 ft
c²=12²+6²-----> c²=144+36-----< c²=180-----> c=√180------> c=6√5 ft
the answer is
<span>the exact length of the brace is 6</span>√5 ft
