PLEASE HELP ME, IM BEGGING, IM ACTUALLY GOING TO CRY IF I GET THIS WRONG. A family camping in a national forest builds a temporary shelter with a tarp and a 4-foot pole. The bottom of the pole is even with the ground, and one corner is staked 5 feet from the bottom of the pole. What is the slope of the tarp from that corner to the top of the pole?
