a. The diagonal brace is broken on the gate. Can I cut a diagonal brace from an 9 foot board to replace the brace of this 8’ by 5’ gate?
b. Show the justification for your answer.
c. If the board is too long , how much too long? If the board is too short, how much too short? Round answers to nearest tenth foot. Show work.
please answer these for me so i can study the answers so that i can learn how to do it please show me how you got the answers.

A) no
B) Use the pythagorean theorem:
If the gate is 8 ft by 5 ft , then the diagonal would divide it into two right triangles, with the brace as the hypotenuse.
8^2+5^2= 64+25= 89
Sqr(89)= 9.43398.... or about 9.4 ft
The brace needs to be about 9.4 ft.
C) 9.4-9= .4 ft too short.
Hoping this helps!
