Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem tells us the relationship between the various distances.

  EH² +HF² = EF²

  EH² + 12² = 20²

  EH² = 400 -144

  EH = √256 = 16

The hook is 16 feet below Edna.

Let f={(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8) evaluate f(2)and f(5)?​
Flauer [41]

Given:

f=\{(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8)\}

To find:

The values of f(2) and f(5).

Solution:

If an ordered pair (x,y) is in the function f, then f(x)=y.

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (2,3). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(2)=3

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (5,6). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(5)=6

Therefore, the value of f(2) is 3 and the value of f(5) is 6.
