Jorge is setting up his tent. He is using two nylon ropes to pull the tent taut and stabilize it at each end. If the tent is 5 feet tall, and Jorge stakes the ropes into the ground 3 feet from the tent, what is the total length of nylon rope he will use, to the nearest tenth of a foot? Show all of your work. PLEASE HELP ME

5.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pithagorean Theorem in this problem, in order to find the length of the rope:

Where:

is the length of the rope (the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the height of the tent, the rope and the ground)

is the height of the tent (one of the legs of the right triangle)

is the other leg of the right triangle

Solving the equation with the given data:

Finding :

This is the total length of nylon rope

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
