The plane figure formed by the ground, the guy wire, and the tree is a right triangle with the hypotenuse equal to length of the guy wire. The angle given is an angle adjacent to 3.5 ft. Therefore, the most suitable trigonometric function for this is,
                                  cos (50°) = adjacent / hypotenuse
                                   cos 50° = 3.5 ft / hypotenuse
The value of the hypotenuse is 5.445 ft. 
Hence, the length of the guy wire is approximately 5.445 ft.

An experienced landscaper can landscape garden with an area of 60sq.m thrice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it take
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

It will take the apprentice 24 days working alone

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days it takes the apprentice be x

It will take the landscaper x/3 ( since he is three times faster)

The rate for both will be 60/6 = 10 sq m per day

Rate for apprentice is 60/x

rate for the boss is 60/x/3 = 180/x

Adding the rates together;

60/x + 180/x = 10

240/x = 10

240 = 10x

x = 240/10

x = 24 days

Suppose 123 people voted for Danny. If 55 of the votes were from girls what would be the ratio of voted from girls to votes from
PtichkaEL [24]
Well you know that the amount of boys that voted for Danny has to be 123 - 55, so you do that and get 68, then the ratio of girls to boys is 55:68, and that can't be simplified anymore because 55 has factors of only 1, 55, 11, and 5, and that doesn't get you anywhere.
