Railroad Bridge Many railroad bridges are designed using triangular structures like the one in the diagram. All
five triangles in the design are congruent. The length of the bridge is 48 feet and the height is 15 feet.
13. Are the triangles in the structure acute, right or obtuse triangles? (Remember Thm. 7.2-7.4) Show supporting
work.
14. How many feet of material are needed to build one side of the bridge as shown in the diagram?
