Step-by-step explanation:

we have a right-angled triangle :

the Hypotenuse (baseline opposite of the 90° angle) is the 850 ft cable from the top of the tower down to the point on the ground 360 ft away from the tower.

then the ground distance (360 ft) and the height of the tower are the 2 legs.

so, we can use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse.

in our case

850² = 360² + height²

height² = 850² - 360² = 592,900

height = 770 ft

the tower is 770 ft tall.

Answer:

<u>770 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • Cable = 850 feet long
  • Extends from radio tower to a point 360 feet from the base of a tower

<u>Solving</u>

  • Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the height
  • (distance from base)² + (height)² = (length of cable)²
  • height² = (850)² - (360)²
  • height² = 722,500 - 129,600
  • height² = 592,900
  • height = √592,900
  • height = <u>770 feet</u>

The area of rectangle RSTU is 36x2+25x−25. The length of the rectangle RSTU is 4x+5. Which expression describes the width of the
yKpoI14uk [10]

Given:

The area of the rectangle RSTU = 36x^2+25x-25

Length of the rectangle RSTU = 4x+5

To find:

The width of the rectangle RSTU.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

36x^2+25x-25

Splitting the middle term, we get

=36x^2+45x-20x-25

=9x(4x+5)-5(4x+5)

=(4x+5)(9x-5)

We know that, the area of a rectangle is

Area=Length \times width

Area of rectangle is product of (4x+5) and (9x-5).

Since (4x+5) is the length of the rectangle, therefore, (9x-5) is the width of the rectangle RSTU.

Find the equations of the line that:
ohaa [14]

Answer:  Part A:  y = x + 6

Part B:  y = 10

The attachment shows the graphs of these equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope, and then the y-intercept. Then write the equation in  Slope-intercept form . y= mx+b

m is the slope. b is the constant, the y-intercept.

First find the slope:  rise/run  

Rise is the difference in y-values  10-7 = 3

Run is the difference between x-values  4 - 1 = 3

The Slope is 3/3   simplify:

m = 1

Use this calculated slope with values of y and x from either of the given coordinates and calculate b

y = mx + b

10 = 1(4) + b  <em>The 1 is not necessary, its "implied" and invisible as a factor in multiplication</em>

10 = 4 + b .  subtract 4 from both sides  10 - 4 = 4 - 4  + b

6 = b

Put these calculated values for m and b into the slope-intercept equation"

y = x + 6

_________

Part B: Step-by-step explanation:  Slope-intercept form . y= mx+b

First find the slope:  rise/run  

Rise is the difference in y-values  10 - 10 = 0

At this point you know that if the slope is 0, it is a horizontal line intersecting the y-axis at the y-value, 10

That graphed line will pass through All x-values.

When a certain tree was first planted, it was 4 feet tall, and the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year f
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 4 feet

Given that the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 years. At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

Let the rate of growing each year be g.

After 6 years height of tree = 4 + 6g

After 4 years height of tree = 4 + 4g

At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

That is

                4+6g=4+4g+\frac{4+4g}{5}\\\\4+6g=\frac{20+20g+4+4g}{5}\\\\20+30g=24+24g\\\\6g=4\\\\g=\frac{2}{3}ft/year

Option D is the correct answer.
