In order to figure out the horizontal distance Raymond travels using his zip cable, we may simply apply Pythagoras theorem which is, for a right triangle:
hypotenuse² = base² + height²
base = √(hypotenuse² - height²)
base = √(65² - 52²)
base =  39 yards
Raymond will travel a horizontal distance of 39 yards.

Answer:

B. 33 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the viewing post, y represent the how far the base of the viewing post is from the end of the cable, and z represent the length of the cable. Now, use the Pythagorean theorem.

x2 + y2 = z2

(44 yd)2 + y2 = (55 yd)2

1,936 yd2 + y2 = 3,025 yd2

y2 = 1,089 yd2

y = 33 yd

So, the end of the cable is 33 yards from the base of the viewing post.

Timmy writes the equation f(x) = x – 1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) = x – 2.

The graph lines stay the same, however the y-intercept changes from (-1,0) to (-2,0), since it is now g(x) = x - 2, instead of f(x) = x - 1.

A construction worker is filling a container in the shape of a right circular cylinder with cement. the container has a base dia
kirza4 [7]

The volume of this container is 5990 feet³.

<h3>How to calculate the volume?</h3>

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

π = 3.14

r = radius = 17.5/2 = 8.75

h = 24.5

The volume will be:

= πr²h

= 3.14 × 8.75² × 24.5

= 5990 ft³

Therefore, the volume of this container is 5990 feet³.

natima [27]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{76.50}{90}=\frac{x}{100}         Set up a proportion.

90x=7,650      Cross-multiply.

x=85               Divide both sides by 90.

100-85=15    The discounted price is 85% of the regular price so the                                          

                        discount is 15%.
