<span><span>15 times 9.25 = 138.75 inches.
That leaves
144-138.75 = 5.25 inches for spaces.
Between the 15 boards are just 14 spaces, however.
So divide 5.25 by 14 and get
3/8" for each space.</span>

<span>Hi there,
14 boards each 9 1/4 inches wide.
14 x 9 1/4 = 138 3/4 inches
144 inches - 138 3/4 inches
= 5 1/4 inches
Spaces between 14 boards
= 13 spaces.
5 1/4 / 13 = 2/5 of an inch.
Hope this helps. :-)</span></span>
Y = 8/cos60 = 16
x = sqr(16^2 + 8^2) = 8sqr(3) = 13.86 approx
The nearest ten is 400 and the hundred is 300
16 + 2x = 20
2x = 20 - 16 = 4
x = 4/2 = 2 inches
