Wires and New Topics

[Meggena]

I don't understand!! Can some one please solve this for me.

A tree is supported by a wire anchored in the gorund five feet from its base. The wire is one foot longer than the height that it reaches on the tree. Find the length of the wire.

Cool. I didn't know I could do that.

Meggena - Don't post new questions on old threads. I split your question off to this thread.

Do you know the Pythagorean Theorem?

Write a definition. X = Length of the wire.

Now what?
