You can use Pythagorean theorem to solve

10 squared + 3 squared = x squared
100+9=x squared
109=x squared
square route 109 and x to get
10.44=x

Answer:

<h2>The wire is around 10.4 meters long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem models a right triangle, where the legs are the height of the pole, and the horizontal distance from each guy to the base of the pole, the hypothenuse is the wire.

So, basically the problem is asking for the length of the hypothenuses, this means we can use the pythagorean theorem to find it

a^{2}=b^{2} +c^{2}

Where a represents the length of the wire, b represents the height of the pole and c represents the horizontal distance between the guy wire and the base of the pole.

According to the problem b=10 and c=3, replacing these values, we have

a^{2}=10^{2} +3^{2}=109\\a=\sqrt{109}\approx 10.4

Therefore, the wire is around 10.4 meters long.

The city of Orlando’s building a dog park in downtown Orlando dog park will be triangular shaped as shown on the coordinate plan
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Perimeter of the dog park = 15.4 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the vertices of the given triangle are,

P(1, 2), Q(1, 6), R(-4, 2)

Since distance between the two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

Length of PQ = \sqrt{(1-1)^2+(2-6)^2}

PQ = 4

Length of PR = \sqrt{(1+4)^2+(2-2)^2}

PR = 5

Length of QR = \sqrt{(1+4)^2+(6-2)^2}

QR = \sqrt{25+16}

     = \sqrt{41}

     = 6.4 yards

Therefore, perimeter of the given triangle = PQ + QR + PR

                                                                       = 4 + 6.4 + 5

                                                                       = 15.4 yards
