A tent maker wishes to support a 8-ft tent wall by attaching cable to the top of it, and then anchoring the cable 7 feet from the base of the tent.
How long of a cable is needed?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Answer with a numeric value only. That is, do not include "ft" or "feet" with your response.
Cable
Ground

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple sketch of the question would give a right angled triangle. So that we can easily apply the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the cable required.

Let the length of the cable required be represented by x.

= +

= +

   = 64 + 49

= 113

x =

  = 10.63

x = 10.6

The length of the cable required is 10.6 in feet.

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
