A rope goes from one building to another. The distance between the buildings is 10 meters, and the rope is tied to each building at a point 8 meters and 4 meters from the ground. Find the length of the rope.

Answer 1

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the rope. Let's call the length of the rope "x."

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

x^2 = 8^2 + (10 - 4)^2
x^2 = 64 + 36
x^2 = 100
x = √100
x = 10

Therefore, the length of the rope is 10 meters.
