Omar the tent maker wishes to support a 13.4-ft tent wall by attaching 25-ft cable to the top of it, and then anchoring the cable to the ground. If the cable is pulled tight, how far from the base of the tent will it be anchored?

21.11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This question would be solved using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

13.4² + b² = 25²

179.56 + b² = 625

b² = 625 - 179.56

b = 445.44

find the square root of 445.44

b = 21.11 ft

square pyramid

step-by-step explanation:

square prism looks like nothing like that

triangular prism has a rectangular base instead of a square base

tetrahedron has a triangular base
