Here is a sample question I made up:
A backstop (two right angle triangles back to back) extends 24 feet 8 inches out in each direction and the center pole is 6.5 yards high. All sides of the backstop including base and the center pole are to be made of aluminum tubing. How many feet of tubing are needed to build the backstop?
How do I find the length of the missing piece of the triangle? I came up with the answer of 483.5ft squared but that sounds way too big.
