Height of a trapezoid:
h = 5 · sin 80° = 5 · 0.985 = 4.924
x = 5 · cos 80° = 5 · 0.17365 = 0.868
7 - x = 7 - 0.868 = 6.132
By the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 6.132² + 4.924²
d² = 37.6 + 24.25
d² = 61.85
d = √61.85
d = 7.86 ≈ 8
Answer: The length of a diagonal brace is 8 feet.

Hello need help please with Divide rational and simplify
aliina [53]
Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal so you can change the equation to this
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4}  \times  \frac{4}{4 - 2x}
And you can simplify by eliminating the fours and multiplying straight across
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4 - 2x}
You can pull out - 7 from the top and 2 from the bottom so you have this
\frac{ - 7(2  -  x)}{2(2 - x)}
And then you can cancel out to (2-x) to get an answer of
\frac{ - 7}{2}
