Question

You are trying to build a

zip line in your backyard. The zip line will be attached 8 feet above the ground and go to a mount Over the pool that is 14 feet away. How long does the zip line need to be reach the pool? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

14 feet

Explanation:

The zip line is the distance between the pool and where the zip line was initially attached.

From the question, we understand that the pool is 14 feet away from the other end of the zip line (i.e. the initial attachment)

Hence:

The required distance is 14 feet

Another Logic is:

Take the first end of the zip line as point 0 feet

`Pool = 14\ feet`

`Distance = 14\ feet - 0\ feet`

`Distance = 14\ feet`
