The guy wire is approximately blank feet long

Mathematics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The guy wire  = 393.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given images:</u>

Refer to the attachment below (I apologize for the bad writing on the computer)

<u>Given information:</u>

Height of the tower = 175 ft

Height of the wire = 15 ft from the top (Opposite)

Angle with the ground = 24°

Length of wire = Unknown (Hypotenuse)

<u>Determine the trigonometric function:</u>

The primary choice will be the Sine function because the angle is opposite to the height and the wire is the hypotenuse of the system.

<u>Determine the equation:</u>

sin θ = (Opposite) / (Hypotenuse)

sin (24°) = (175 - 15) / (Length)

<u>Simplify value in parenthesis</u>

sin (24°) = (160) / (Length)

<u>Multiply the Length of wire on both sides</u>

sin (24°) * (Length) = (160) / (Length) * (Length)

sin (24°) * (Length) = (160)

<u>Divide sin (24°) on both sides</u>

sin (24°) * (Length) / sin (24°) = (160) / sin (24°)

Length = 160 / sin (24°)

\Large\boxed{Length~=~393.4~ft}

Hope this helps!! :)

The number of paper clips that crystal has is 42 divided by the number of paper clips that gayle has. If gayle has 11 more paper
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

• Gayle: 14

• Crystal: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...

g - (42/g) = 11

Multiplying by g gives ...

g^2 -42 = 11g

g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form

To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.

-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6

You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...

(g -14)(g +3) = 0

g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)

Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.

To approximate the number of bees in a hive, multiply the number of bees that leave the hive in one minute by 3 and divide by 0.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

There are about 5,357 bees in the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----->  the number of bees that leave the hive in one minute

y -----> the approximate number of bees in a hive

we know that

The formula to calculate the approximate number of bees in a hive is equal to

y=\frac{3x}{0.014}

For x=25

substitute

y=\frac{3(25)}{0.014}

y=5,357\ bees

therefore

There are about 5,357 bees in the hive
