Bob is building a wooden cabin. the cabin is 30 meters wide. he obtained a bunch of 17 meters long wooden beams for the roof of the cabin. naturally, he wanted to place the roof beams in such an angle that each pair of opposite beams would meet exactly in the middle. what is the angle of elevation, in degrees, of the roof beams?

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
