An A-frame cabin is 26.23 feet high at the center, and the angle the roof makes with the base is 53.25 degrees. How wide is the base of the triangle?

Question

Note 15 seconds = .25 degrees which means x = 53.25 degrees.

Answer 1

Tan 53.25  = 26.23 ft / ( width of the base)

 

Width of the base = 26.23 / tan 53.25

 

 

Width = 19.59 feet
