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

Answer:

10 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trapezoid</u>

Base =12 inches

Height =10 inches

Top side= 10 inches.

Area of a Trapezoid=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h, $where a and b are the lengths of the base and top respectively$

=\frac{1}{2}(10+12)*10\\=5*22=110 \:Square\:Inches

Area of the Trapezoid=110 Square Inches

<u>Rectangle</u>

Base = 12 inches

Height =10 inches.

Area of a Rectangle=Base X Height

=12 X 10

=120 Square Inches

<u>Difference in Area between the two packages</u>

Difference=Area of Rectangle-Area of Trapezoid

=120-110

=10 Square Inches

A 14 inch pizza (diameter is 14) was cut in to 8 pieces. What is the angle measure of each slice? *
Luda [366]

Answer:

The angle for each slice is 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the angle of each slice, we first need to calculate the total area of the pizza, because we will use that to find the area of each slice and as a result it's angle. To calculate the area of the pizza we must use:

pizza area = pi*r²

r = d / 2 = 14 /2 = 7 inches

pizza area = pi*(7)² = 153.86 square inches

Since the pizza was divided in 8 pieces, the area of each piece is given by the area of the pizza divided by the number of slices. We have:

slice area = pizza area  / 8 = 153.86 / 8 =19.2325 square inches

Each slice is a circle sector, therefore it's area is given by:

slice area = (angle*pi*r²)/360

Therefore we can solve for angle:

19.2325 = (angle*pi*7²)/360

angle*pi*49 = 6923.7

angle = 6923.7 / pi*49 = 45 degrees

The angle for each slice is 45 degrees.
