Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

\frac{RX}{RB}=\frac{XE}{BO}\\\\\frac{6}{15}=\frac{a}{20}\\\\a=20\left(\frac{6}{15} \right)=\boxed{8}

Factors of x3 – 9x2 + 5x – 45 by grouping
kati45 [8]
Important:  Use the symbol "^" to denote exponentiation:

<span>x3 – 9x2 + 5x – 45        NO
</span><span>x^3 – 9x^2 + 5x – 45    YES

Look at the first 2 terms.  They can be rewritten as x^2(x-9).  Then look at the last 2 terms.  They can be rewritten as 5(x-9).  So, x-9 is the common factor here.   Thus, the original expression becomes:

(x^2-5)(x-9).

Note that x^2-5 can be factored, so that the final 3 factors are:

(x-sqrt(5)), (x+sqrt(5)), (x-9).</span>

Kipish [7]

Answer:

a. 80.83 ft b. 40.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height of pole = 70 ft, L = length of cable and x = distance of cable on ground to pole and Ф = angle between cable and ground.

a) How long is the cable?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and L being the hypotenuse side, by trigonometric ratios,

sinФ = h/L

L = h/sinФ

L = 70 ft/sin60°

L = 70 ft/0.8660

L = 80.83 ft

b) How far from the pole should the cable be attached to the ground?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and x being the adjacent side, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

x = h/tanФ

x = 70 ft/tan60°

x = 70 ft/1.7321

x = 40.42 ft
