Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The cable will be the hypotenuse, so c = 11.3 m
One leg is the distance of the anchor, so a = 4.2 m
(4.2)^2 + b^2 = (11.3)^2
17.64 + b^2 = 127.69
Subtract 17.64 from both sides
b^2 = 110.05
Square root both sides
b = ~10.5 m
B
11.3+4.2=15.5m to the nearest tenth
a + b = + 2 = 2 = , thus
(a + b)² = ( )² = × = =
.25(P), or P/4
Depending on what P, the answer should be .25(P)
8 * 2 = 16
16 + 8 = 24 ≠ 20
