A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 150 ft and 180 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn

a and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 65° with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)

The distance between the anchor points of the two guy wires holding radio antenna is 181 feet (to the nearest foot)

<h3>How to determine the distance between the two anchor points of the guy wire</h3>

The problem will be solved using SOH CAH TOA

let the distance between the 150 ft long guy wire and the radio antenna be x

let the distance between the 180 ft long guy wire and the radio antenna be y

cos 65° = x / 150

x = cos 65° * 150

x = 63.39 ft

The height of the antenna

sin 65° = height of antenna / 150

height of antenna = sin 65 * 150

height of antenna = 135.95

using Pythagoras theorem

(length of guy wire)² = (height of the antenna)² + (anchor distance)²

(anchor distance)² = 180² - 135.95²

anchor distance = √(180² - 135.95²)

anchor distance = 117.97

The anchor points distance apart

= 63.39 + 117.97

= 181 (to the nearest foot)

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution
DIA [1.3K]
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j 
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so 
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j 
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so 
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so 
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j =  5/4

A square park is 75 m long. Find the area of the park.<br>​
Inga [223]
5625 m^2

If is is square, all sides must be congruent (all sides are 75m). To find area, you multiply width x length (how long). Therefore:

75m x 75m = 5626 m^2
