Answer:

<h3>6 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation

Using the pythagoras theorem;

Given

The length of the flag pole = 8 feet = opposite side

Length of the rope = 10 feet = hypotenuse

To determine how far out on the ground he need to secure the rope from the flagpole so that the rope is tight, we need to look for the adjacent. Using the equation

hyp² = opp² + adj²

10² = 8² + adj²

adj² = 100-64

adj² = 36

adj = √36

adj = 6feet

Hence the rope should be placed 6feet out of the ground

Which statement best describes Georgia’s Barrier Islands?
NemiM [27]

The statement that best describes Georgia’s Barrier Islands is; A: They protect the coastline during storms.

<h3>What is the correct statement about the place?</h3>

Barrier islands are called “barrier islands” due to the fact that they are good means of creating barrier between the mainland and the ocean.

Now, these barrier islands tend to shelter and protect the mainland from the powerful forces of wind, waves, and other natural disasters.  This they do by;

  • Sheltering the estuaries that form behind the barriers.
  • Allowing marshes to build up in the quiet waters of the sound.
  • Filtering of the pollutants that come in from mainland rivers by the marshes.
  • Providing valuable habitats for water animals and others in that ecosystem.
  • Serve aesthetic purposes

Barrier islands are a very much valuable resource. Despite the fact that they constantly change and may become badly eroded, they can still rebuild if left alone.

Thus, we can conclude that statement best describes Georgia’s Barrier Islands is that they protect the coastline during storms.
