Question

Three Boy Scout would like to put up a tent in account their problem is they are in need of a row that will connect the top of the tent pole 5m high to the peg on the ground 3.5m from the foot of the pole. what is the required length of the rope?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the required length of rope is 2.5 m

Answer 2

$\huge\green{\underline{\maltese{Answer}\maltese}}$

We can visualise it being a right angled triangle.

here, altitude= height of pole=5m

base-length from the foot of the pole to where rope is to be

connected-3.5m

and hypotenuse= length of the rope itself.

By pythogoras theorem,

altitude²+ base² = hypotenuse²

so, we need to find the hypotenuse.

thus, hypotenuse = $\sqrt{base² + altitude²}$

$\sqrt{25+12.25} = \sqrt{37.25} = 6.1$m so, length of the rope is 6.1m
