You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem.
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:
A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.
3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.

Answer: x-6
Explanation: x^2 is a DOTS, or difference of two squares. 36 is a perfect square and x^2 is a perfect square, and you are finding the difference. Therefore, you can do (x+6)(x-6). This works with any number. If there was x^2-16, it could be factored to (x+4)(x-4)
Answer:
D. y = |x| – 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value
at x=2, the absolute value thing is positive
do this one

the derivitive is

so the slope at x=2 is

=-3
a point is (2,2)
point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=-3(x-2)
or
y=-3x+8
