The ropes will be attached to the tree 5 feet up the trunk, forming a right triangle. Use the pythagorean theorem to determine how long each piece of rope must be to support the tree. A. 3.3 feet b.7.0 feet c. 7.8 feet d.11.0 feet

Respuesta :

Using the pythagras theorem :

Length of rope = Β sqrt (6^2 - 5^2) Β sqrt 11 = Β 3.32 feet to nearest hundredth.
