Triangle question from a Math "Dummy"?

[CCinPA]

No math background... But need help.

What is the "?-ft." measurement?  

Any questions?

Thanks!

I fear I may not be asking the right question.  Let me try to clarify... What are the dimensions or the "gray-box"?  Given is the 8-ft. side by ??? 

So... Soand916ofaninch

I'm sorry I calculated the wrong dimension.

I should have calculated your dimension as 43 feet minus  16 feet 9 and a half inches (rounding the 9-sixteenths).

So your rectangular box is 8 feet by 26 feet 2 and a half inches.

This seems more logical... Thanks!
