Part 1

There are many ways to go about this, but one possibility is the following:

You are building a tree house. Your ladder is 10 feet long and the portion in the tree you're trying to get to is 8 feet off the ground. How far should the base of the ladder be from the tree so you can reach that portion?

==========================================================

Part 2

The drawing is shown below. The diagram is shown in 2D to keep things as simple as possible. Adding a third dimension greatly complicates everything.

We have a right triangle, so it has a 90 degree angle as shown by the square marker. The vertical leg is 8 feet. The horizontal leg is unknown. The hypotenuse (longest side) is 10 feet long to indicate the ladder.

==========================================================

Part 3

Use the pythagorean theorem to get...

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

x^2 + 64 = 100

x^2 = 100-64

x^2 = 36

x = sqrt(36)

x = 6

The base of the ladder should be 6 feet away from the tree, so that you can reach 8 feet off the ground.

A field hockey team wins 80% of its games. Based on your simulation, what is the experimental probability of the team winning it
ElenaW [278]
The probability that they will win their next three games is 51.2%.

The chance that they win is 80%. To find the probability that they win 3 games in a row, we just have to multiply 80% by itself 3 times.

0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.512 = 51.2%
