Question

I’m Daytona beach, parasailors can spring 2000 feet above the ground. If the parasailor is 1500 feet from the boat, about how long is the rope?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of rope = 2500 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of spring above the ground = 2000 feet

Distance of parasailor from the boat = 1500 feet

Let the length of rope = x feet

Then ,

x² = (2000)² + (1500)²

Or, x² = 6250000

i.e x = 2500 feet

Therefore the length of rope = 2500 feet          Answer
