Question 1032566: a tree needs to be staked down prior to a storm. if the ropes can be tied on the tree trunk 10 feet above the ground and the staked rope should make a 30 degrees angle with the ground, what is the total amount of rope (feet) that extends to the four stakes supporting? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using the solution from the last one...the length of rope is the hypotenuse...as before the sides are 1-2-sqrt(3)...this time you are interested in the 2-side, thus each rope is 10*2 = 20 feet long...
Four of them would use a total of 80 feet of rope...
