Answer:

135.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS COMPLETE THE QUESTION

flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is 14 feet longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole. Find the length of the wire.

Let X be the length of the wire

Let y be the height of the pole

X= Y + 14

Y= X -14

We can form a right angle triangle form this, where X denote the Hypotenose, Y is the Opposite, and 60feet is the Adjacent.(CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRIANGLE)

Using Pythagoras theorem

X²= 60² + Y²

X² = 3600 + Y²

if we subsitute for Y we have

X² = 3600 + (X -14)²

X² = 3600 +X² -14X-14X+196

X²-X²+ 28X= 3600+196

28X= 3796

X= 3796/28

=135.5ft

hence length of the wire is 135.5ft

A line passes through the point (5,-11) and has a slope of -2 Find an equation of this line.
Vsevolod [243]

Formula: y = mx + b

m being the slope

Slope given: -2, plug it in

Y = -2x + b

Now find y intercept (b)

Plug in the point (5,-11)

-11 = -2(5) + b

-11 = -10 + b, b = -1

Solution: y = -2x -1

marta [7]

Answer: 1,170ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of the living room can be calculated with the formula for find the area of a rectangle. This formula is:

A_1=l_1*w_1

Where:

l_1 is the lenght  of the original living room, and  w_1 is the width of the original living room.

If he creates the addition that causes the dimensions to triple, then the new area of Garrett’s living room is:

A_2=(3l_1)(3w_1)\\A_2=(3*13ft)(3*10ft)\\A_2=1,170ft^2
