Geometry deer blind help needed

[Warwagon]

Hey guys...need a little help please??? Can someone solve the "?" please?!?


This is all the info I have...

Thanks in advance

8'

[Warwagon]

It's 8' at the top.....legs are cut at 80 degrees...and are 18' long....I think it'll be a little bigger than 8'. Thanks

[lab man]

X=14.25'

[Warwagon]

That sounds better...thx very much

[Mac...]

Lol didn't see the 80• marks. Lol

I came up with 14.37'

tan(80) = 18/x
x = 18/tan(80)
x = 3.17

Total Length = 8 + 2x = 14.37

X=14.25'

Agree. 14.25' if your 80 degree really start at 8'. From your pic, it looks like you are starting somewhere less than 8'. Easy way to remember .

O (pposite)
- = Sine ( Sine 10 degrees = 0.1736) x 18' = 3.1257 x 2 + 8 = 14.25'
H (ypotenuse)

A (djacent)
- = Cosine ( Cosine 80 degrees = 0.1736) x 18' = 3.1257 x 2 + 8 = 14.25'
H

O
- = Tan
A

You can flip it over to get Cotan, Sec, Csc

That's kinda what I was thinking!

It was my first thought as well.

Man I have got to ask, why 80*. Why not 90 and eliminate the math? ☺

You are assuming something with this statement
