Answer 1

the metal bar/random line is almost the same size as the other two sides of the triangle. if one side is 32ft, then the opposite side is 32ft also. the bottom is 100ft, so we could eliminate C. because it couldnt be that number. now the bottom triangle, one side is 40ft so the other side has to be 40ft as well. its asking about the metal bar.

its either:

A. 53.2ft     or

B. 44.4

because the line is almost the same size as 32ft. its almost a equallateral triangle. i would go with A. though because if you imagine the line at the bottom of the line (100ft.) the line would go over half of it (and 53.2 is over half of 100) so i would say

A.53.2

if this didnt help let me know. and i will delete this (if i can-)
