Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the television is 40 inches and the length is 71.5 inches.

Part A

The part of the right angle triangle that you have been given are the legs which are also the opposite and adjacent sides. You are looking for the hypotenuse

Part B

The Pythagorean theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

The equation becomes

Hypotenuse² = 40² + 71.5²

Part C

Length ² = 1600 + 5112.25

Length ² = 6712.25

Length = √6712.25

Length = 81.9 inches

Part D

The size of the television is 82 inches

A guy wire runs from the top of a cell tower to a metal stake in the ground. Marques places a 11-foot tall pole to support the g
astra-53 [7]

The Pythagorean theorem computed shows that the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot, is 207 ft.

<h3>How to solve the length?</h3>

Here, we have two similar right triangles, ΔABE and ΔCDE.

CD = 11 ft

DE = 2 ft

BD = 35 ft

First, find AB:

AB/11 = (35 + 2)/2

AB/11 = 37/2

Cross multiply

AB = (37 × 11)/2

AB = 203.5 ft

Then, apply Pythagorean Theorem to find AE:

AE = √(AB² + BE²)

AE = √(203.5² + 37²)

AE = 207 ft

Therefore, the length of the guy wire is 207 ft.
