randy wants to attach a 20 foot string of lights to the top of the 19 foot mast of his sailboat. how far from the base of the mast should he attach the end of the light string? round your answer to two decimal places.

Sagot :

The distance between the base of the string and the base of the mast of the sailboat is 6.24.

Here we have to find the distance from the base of the mast that should be attached to the end of the light string.

Data given:

length of the string = 20 foot

length of the mast of the sailboat = 19 foot

Distance between the base of the mast and the light string = [tex]\sqrt{20^{2} - 19^{2} }[/tex]

                                                                                             = [tex]\sqrt{400 - 361}[/tex]

                                                                                             = √39

                                                                                             = 6.245

Therefore the distance between the string and the mast is 6.24.
