The value of x is 34.64 feet

Right-angled triangle

Find the diagram attached

  • The height of the tent = 40 ft
  • length of the rope = x

Get the value of x using the SOH CAH TOA identity

[tex]sin 60 = \frac{x}{40}\\0.8660 = \frac{x}{40}\\x = 40(0.8660)\\x = 34.64feet[/tex]

Hence the value of x is 34.64 feet
