Tree stands 25 feet tall and 15 feet wide base 7.5 feet . You want to hang strings of lights from top to bottom on the outside. How long should each string be?
slant height^2=7.5^2 + 25^2
solve for slant height.
To determine the length of each string, you first need to calculate the total height that needs to be covered by the lights.
From the given information, we know that the tree stands 25 feet tall.
Since you want to hang the lights from top to bottom on the outside, the length of the lights should cover the entire height of the tree, so the length of each string will be 25 feet.
Therefore, each string of lights should be 25 feet long.
