The length of the bottom beam =9.16 feet
What is Pythagoras theorem?
the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse.
Given : Total length of arm = 3.4+3.4=6.8 ft
Applying Pythagoras in triangle on right side we have,
H²=P²+ B²
6.8²= P² + 4.8²
46.24= P² +23.04
P²= 23.2
P= 4.81 feet
Similarly, on the triangle on left side.
Again we have the base as 4.81 feet.
Now, the length of the bottom beam= 4.81*2
=9.16 feet
