The mass of a sailing ship is 20 feet tall a rope is stretch 26 feet from the top of the mask to a cleat on the deck of the ship. How far is the cleat from the base of a mast ?
To find the distance between the cleat and the base of the mast, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
Let's denote the distance between the cleat and the base of the mast as d.
We have a right triangle formed by the height of the mast (20 feet), the distance between the cleat and the top of the mast (26 feet), and the distance between the cleat and the base of the mast (d). The height of the mast is one leg of the triangle, the distance between the cleat and the top of the mast is the hypotenuse, and the distance between the cleat and the base of the mast is the other leg.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation:
d^2 + 20^2 = 26^2
Simplifying the equation:
d^2 + 400 = 676
Subtracting 400 from both sides:
d^2 = 276
Taking the square root of both sides:
d ≈ √276
Calculating the approximate value:
d ≈ 16.62
Therefore, the cleat is approximately 16.62 feet from the base of the mast.
