How long is the wire that supports the tree?
5.6 ft
3.3 ft

Answer:
6.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
You must use Pythagoras theorem, which is a² + b² = c², then square root c to get answer
if 5.6 = a and 3.3 = b
5.6²+3.3²=42.25(=c²)
42.25 = c²
square root both sides
6.5 = c
Answer:
6.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
[tex]5.6^2 + 3.3^2=C^2[/tex]
31.36+10.89=[tex]C^2[/tex]
42.25=[tex]C^2[/tex]
NOW you have to square root both sides of the equation
[tex]\sqrt{42.25} = \sqrt{C^2}[/tex]
You square root both sides so you can get ride of the exponent on C
So, your answer is 6.5=C
hope this helps :)
p.s. for further questions, [tex]c^2[/tex], is always the opposite side of the right angle. :)
