I'm going to assume that the "missing" width is based on the Pytagorean Theorem and "a" is given by

SQRT (11.5^2 - 5^2) = about 10.36 ft.

However....it appears that your goal is extremely "non-standard" and I have have included a schematic of a more "normal" goal along with detailed instructions for its assembly.....

I figure you should be through puttng together all those little pieces at about the same time I finish helping Sisyphus with a little boulder "problem"......or thereabouts......

use c^2-b^2=a^2

c is hypotenus

b is leg

a is answer
