Ikyjah’s cat is stuck up a tree. To rescue it, he places the base of a 10 ft ladder 3 ft away from the base of the tree. What is the height of the branch which the cat is stuck on?

Respuesta :

lucic

The height of the branch is 9.54 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Pythagorean relationship in this question where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse, and the distance from the tree base is the shortest side.Finding the height will be;

a²+b²=c²

a²+3²=10²

a²=10²-3²

a²=100-9

a²=91

a=√91=9.54 ft
