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.

10090 7 Each railroad car in a train set is 6 inches in length. The railroad track is 5 feet long. How many railroad cars can it
Orlov [11]

Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of railroad car = 6 inches
The length of railroad track = 5 feet
We will convert this length into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches
Let,
x be the number of cars.
Number of cars * Length of each car = Length of track

Dividing both sides by 6

10 cars can fit on railroad track.
