QuestionA 10-foot pole is supporting a tent and has a rope attached to the top. The rope is pulled straight and the other end is attached to a peg one foot above the ground. The rope and the pole form an angle that measures 3535^{\circ}, as shown below.
Which expression shows the length of the rope? 10cos3512.2\frac{10}{\cos 35^{\circ}} \approx 12.2 feet 9cos3511.0\frac{9}{\cos 35^{\circ}} \approx 11.0 feet 10cos35111.2\frac{10}{\cos 35^{\circ}}-1 \approx 11.2 feet 9cos35+112.0\frac{9}{\cos 35^{\circ}}+1 \approx 12.0 feet
