You are lying 120 ft away from a tree that is 50 feet tall.You look up at the top of the tree.Approximately jow far is your head from the top of the tree in a straight line?

Respuesta :

Use the pythagorean Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. 
So, 120^2+50^2=c^2 (the hypotenuse)
14,400+2500=c^2
16900=c^2
Now, find the square root of both sides
c= 130 ft away
