When you draw this out, what you have is a right triangle problem. The height of the rope from the ground is 12 (a side), the distance she is from the base of the tree is 5 (a side), and the length of the rope is the hypotenuse. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse: 5^2+12^2 = c^2 or
25+144 = c^2 and c^2 = 169, which makes the length of the rope come out to be 13 feet long.
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually, you have only one equation here. We will solve it for x.
Performing the indicated multiplication, we obtain:
10-2(2x+1)=4(x-2) => 10 - 4x - 2 = 4x - 8, or 10 - 2 = -8. This can never be true, so this equation has no solution.
Use the formula a = a+b/2h
