Answer:The correct answer is:

90 feet.

Explanation:

Each wire forms a right triangle with the tree and the ground. The height from the ground to the point on the tree the wire is attached to, 3 feet, is one leg. The length from the tree to where the wire is staked in the ground, 4 feet, is the other leg.

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse: 3²+4²=c²; 9+16=c²; 25=c²; √25=√(c²); 5=c

This means each wire will be 5 feet long. There are 3 wires per tree, which gives us 5*3 = 15 feet. There are 6 tree, so this is 15*6 = 90 feet of wire.

Portion remaining after the bar was eaten by his brother = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

What is you’re typical approach to solving a math problem that looks too difficult or intimidating
kherson [118]

Answer:

People are more likely to avoid approaching difficult situations as they fear failure or looking bad to others if they get it wrong. They lack the point of view of being looked upon as brave for attempting something that others avoid.
