The complete question is
"A theater production group is making frames to support wall-like props. Three-foot beams form right triangles with 10-foot beams to allow them to stand, as shown in the image.
What is x, the angle at which the diagonal beam meets the 10-foot beam at the top of the frame?
16.7°, 17.5°, 72.5°,73.3°"
The value of angle x would be 16.7 degrees.
<h3>What is the right triangle?</h3>A right-angle triangle is a triangle that has a side opposite to the right angle the largest side and is referred to as the hypotenuse.
The angle of a right angle is always 90 degrees.
In order to find the value of x, a tan would be used.
This is because we have given the opposite and adjacent sides as 10 ft and 3 ft.
Tan Ф = opposite / adjacent
Tan Ф = (3/10)
= 16.7 degrees
The value of angle x would be 16.7 degrees.

Answer: Part A: a square pyramid Part B: 84 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: The shape will have a base that is a square with triangles on each of its edges that connect at a point at the top.
Part B: The amount of nylon needed is the surface area of the net. There is a square and two triangles. The square has a side length of 6 so its area will be 6*6=36 square feet. Each triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 4 so each of their areas will be square feet. Adding up the area of the 4 triangles and the square gives us 4*12+36=84 square feet.
