Check Mark

Answer to Problem 14PPS

The length of a cut for wood piece to create a mainsail brace is 9in .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  a=12c=15

Concept Used:

Pythagorean Theorem:

  a2+b2=c2

Where,

Height: a

Length of cut: b

Calculation:

The length of a cut for wood piece to create a mainsail brace is calcauted by using the following expression:

a2+b2=c2

Substitute known values in the above equation:

  a2+b2=c2

  (12)2+b2=(15)2

  144+b2=225225144=b281=b2b2=81b=9in

Conclusion:

Hence, The length of a cut for wood piece to create a mainsail brace is 9in .
