A monkey is chained to a stake in the ground. The stake is 3.00 m from a vertical pole, and the chain is 4.28 m long. How high can the monkey climb up the pole?

Sagot :

Answer:

  3.05 m

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the other leg of this right triangle is ...

  a^2 +b^2 = c^2

  a^2 +3^2 = 4.28^2

  a = √(4.28^2 -3^2) = √9.3184

  a ≈ 3.053

The monkey can climb about 3.05 meters up the pole.
