Question

Could I have help with number 5 please

Answer 1

x = 10.19803903 meters

Explanation:

First, you need to calculate the differences in the posts height.

8 - 6 = 2

Then you can use that to draw a right triangle and solve for the distance between the tops using Pythagorean theorem.

10² + 2² = x²

100 + 4 = x² --- solve

x² = 104 --- solve

x = 10.19803903 meters --- square root both sides
