A maypole is the centerpiece of a tradition where several people hold strands of ribbons that connect to the top of the maypole. The people holding ribbons run around the pole in opposite circles, weaving a pattern. The length of one ribbon is 26 feet. If the ribbon were pulled taut and touched the ground, it would be 10 feet away from the base of the pole. How high is the pole?

(-1,-0.5)

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
