You ask Rhonda to determine the distance the brake anchor has to be placed away
from the base of the ending tree so the brake will just reach the tree. Remember,
the cable is attached to the starting tree 16 feet above the ground.

Rhonda measures 20 feet away from the base of the tree because the
bungee cord is 20 feet long.
• She adds 15 extra feet, to allow the bungee cord to stretch to capacity.
Rhonda says the brake anchor should be placed 35 feet from the base of
the ending tree.
