A newly-planted tree needs to be staked with three wires. Each wire is attached to the trunk 3 ft. above the ground, and then anchored to the ground 4 ft. from the base of the tree. How much wire is needed for 6 trees?
each treee has 3 wirds so 3 feet from the ground 4 feet from the tree use pythatorean theorem to find staright measure from tree to ground a^2+b^2=c^2 3^2+4^2=c^2 9+16=c^2 25=c^2 square root both sides 5=c
