Question

On a camping trip Trina is going to build a shelter by leading branches up against a rock wall Trina wants her sleeping bag to be perpendicular to the wall her saving bag is 6' long and the wall is 8' tall how long will the branches be

Answer 1

The Branches should be 10' long.

What is Pythagoras theorem ?

Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of the squares of base and perpendicular is equal to the square of hypotenuse.

According to the given question on a camping trip Trina is going to build a shelter by leading branches up against a rock wall Trina wants her saving bag to be perpendicular this means it will form a right angle triangle and we know hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular².

Here branches is the hypotenuse,wall is perpendicular and saving bag is base.

∴ (Branches)² = (wall)² + (saving bag)²

  (Branches)² = 64 + 36

  (Branches)² = 100

   Branches = 10.
