Question

Draw a picture first, then use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. Round

your answer to the nearest tenth.
A wire is stretched from the top of an 8-ft. pole, to a bracket 5-ft. from the
base of the pole. How long is the wire?
O 9.4
09.0
O 89.0
O 13

Answer 1

your answer would be 9.4

Explanation:

you'd have to plug in the numbers in the equation.

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

64 + 25 = c^2

89 = c^2 then you'd do the square root of 89 which will give you 9.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
