You ask Esteban to determine the distance the brake anchor has to be placed awa the base of the ending tree so the brake will just reach the tree. Remember, the cable is attached to the starting tree 18 feet above the ground. . Esteban measures 20 feet away from the base of the tree because the bung cord is 20 feet long. He adds 15 extra feet, to allow the bungee cord to stretch to capacity. Esteban places the brake anchor 35 feet from the base of the ending tree. Ending tree Stretched Brake anchor Bungee cord Height Distance Esteban's anchor is not the correct distance from the tree. What is the flaw in Esteban's process? Find the distance the brake anchor should be placed away from the base of the tree so the brake will just reach the tree. . Explain to Esteban how you found the distance. Justify your reasoning mathematically. Brake
