Answer 1

I hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

So 3 feet up

4 feet away

this is makes a wire that is streached and the ground, tree and wire make a triangle

wire=longest side=hypotonuse

assuming that the angle made by the tree and the ground is a right angle

we have a right triangle with missing hypotonuse

so we use pythagorean theroerm where

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are legs

c=hypotonuse

we know that the legs are 3 and 4

subsitute

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

square root boht isdes

5=c

answer is 5 feet per tree

6 trees

5 times 6=30

30 feet needed
