Answer:

8feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the height of the pole, we will use the pythagoras theorem. Let H be the height

H² = 100 - 36

H² = 64

H = √64

Over the course of a month, Katniss caught three times as many squirrels as deer. She also caught five less rabbits than squirre

NeTakaya

Answer:

She caught 10 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Rabbits with R; Squirrels with S and Deer with D

$S = 3D$

$S = R - 5$

$S + R+ D = 10 +4D$

Required

Determine the value of R

$S + R+ D = 10 +4D$

Solve for R

$R = 10 + 4D - D - S$

$R = 10 + 3D - S$

Recall that $S = 3D$

Substitute 3D for S

$R = 10 + 3D - 3D$

$R = 10$

Hence;

<em>She caught 10 rabbits</em>
