Answer:
11.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope, where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras' identity
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )
g = ≈ 11.4 feet
Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We need to determine the distance that Mr. Mole covers in a single minute.
To do that we divide the difference in values of altitude by the difference in the time periods.
For the first case, Mr. Mole had traveled -18 meters in 5 minutes.
We also have, he traveled -25.2 meters in 8 minutes.
Step 2:
The distance he covered in 1 minute
So with every minute, Mr. Mole digs down an additional 2.4 meters below the surface.
To determine where Mr. Mole's burrow is we subtract the distance traveled in 5 minutes from -18.
The altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow
So Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground i.e. -6 meters.
