A young tree is planted in the center of an equilateral triangle.Three wires are attached to the tree as shown.Why should the wires all be the same length? Assuming the dimensions shown, how long should each wire be?
The base of the tree being at the center of an equilateral triangle means that it is equidistant from the vertices.The tree is held perpendicular to the ground so the three triangles formed by the tree, the wires and the distance from the tree to the vertices of the equilateral triangle are congruent by LL.The length of each wire should be approximately 3.8 feet.
