Answer: It is about 23 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.
2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.
3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:

Answer:
A. (-7 -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 7 and subtracting 6 times the second equation:
7(-3x +6y) -6(5x +7y) = 7(9) -6(-49)
-21x +42y -30x -42y = 63 +294 . . . . eliminate parentheses
-51x = 357 . . . . . . . . collect terms
x = -7 . . . . . . . divide by -51. This matches answer choice A.
