Final answer:
The length of the brace cannot be determined with the provided information, as measurements of the other sides are missing. Vertical studs placed 16.0 inches apart convert to 40.64 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the length of the brace from point G to point H, we should apply the Pythagorean theorem, as we're dealing with a right triangle (assuming the diagram indicates a right angle between the sides of the shed and the brace is the hypotenuse). However, the information provided does not include the measurements of the other two sides, just the endpoints G and H. Since we only know the points and not the actual lengths of the perpendicular sides, we cannot calculate the length of the brace with just this information. More information would be needed to provide an accurate answer to this problem.
Regarding the information about lumber being used as vertical studs placed 16.0 inches apart, the distance in centimeters can be calculated by converting inches to centimeters. There are 2.54 centimeters in an inch, so to find the distance in centimeters:
- Multiply 16 inches by 2.54 to get 40.64 centimeters.
