Question
A tether ball is attached to the top of a 15-foot pole. Maddy holds the ball 3 feet off the ground and 4 feet from the pole. How long is the rope that the tether ball is attached to?
Answers
vertical = 15 -3 = 12
horizontal = 4
hypotenuse^2 = 4^2 + (4*3)^2 = 4^2 + 9 *4^2 = 10 * 4^2
so hypotenuse = 4 sqrt 10
horizontal = 4
hypotenuse^2 = 4^2 + (4*3)^2 = 4^2 + 9 *4^2 = 10 * 4^2
so hypotenuse = 4 sqrt 10
160 ft
