CASE 3: HOUSE REPAIR
• After heavy winds brought by “Hanging
Habagat”, the house was damaged. Workers
placed an 8-m brace against its side at 45°
angle. Then, at the same spot on the ground,
they placed a second longer brace to make a
30° angle with the side of the house. Show
the complete solution for each question
below. p
30°
• A. How long is the longer brace? Round your r
answer to the nearest tenth of a meter. 45°
• B. About how much higher on the house does q
the longer brace reach than the shorter 8m
brace?
