Omar and mackenzie want to build a pulley system by attaching one end of a rope to their 8-foot-tall tree house and anchoring the other end to the ground 28 feet away from the base of the treehouse. how long, to the nearest foot, does the piece of rope need to be?

a. 26ft
b. 27ft
c. 28ft
d. 29ft

d. 29ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem which states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the opposite and adjacent sides of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse side

From the attached image, Let the length of the rope be x

x≈29

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
