A tent maker wishes to support a 8-ft tent wall by attaching cable to the top of it, and then anchoring the cable 7 feet from the base of the tent.
How long of a cable is needed?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Answer with a numeric value only. That is, do not include "ft" or "feet" with your response.
Cable
Ground

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple sketch of the question would give a right angled triangle. So that we can easily apply the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the cable required.

Let the length of the cable required be represented by x.

= +

= +

   = 64 + 49

= 113

x =

  = 10.63

x = 10.6

The length of the cable required is 10.6 in feet.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
