A tree is 18 feet tall. A wire runs from the top of the tree to a point 4 feet from its base. The wire is √340 feet long. Estimate the length of the wire to the nearest hundredth of a foot. The wire is about (Blank) feet long.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The wire is about 18.44 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

The wire is √340 feet long.

This implies that the length of the wire is √340 feet.

Converting the value of this length (√340) to decimal gives;

√340 = 18.439

Now, let's convert 18.439 to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

18.439 ≅ 18.44

Therefore, the length of the wire to the nearest hundredth of a foot is 18.44 feet.

In other words, the wire is about 18.44 feet long.
