The formula to calculate the top chord length (TCL) is:
\[ \text{TCL} = \sqrt{\left( \frac{B}{2} \right)^2 + H^2} \]
Where:
A top chord length is a measure of the length of one side of the length of a truss chord used in building houses. It is an important parameter in structural engineering and construction, ensuring the stability and integrity of the truss.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the top chord length (TCL):
\[ \text{TCL} = \sqrt{\left( \frac{10}{2} \right)^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} \approx 7.07 \text{ meters} \]
The top chord length (TCL) is approximately 7.07 meters.
