Answer:

|1 -x| -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is always non-negative, so the only way the expression will have a negative value is if some negative number is added to the absolute value. Only one answer choice does this:

|1 -x| -2

[] SSS

-> ... by the SSS similarity theorem, the sides are...

[] Proportional

-> ... the sides are proportional.

[] AB/AC

-> Since the sides are proportional, dividing corresponding sides will leave us with the same number

[] For the last two I think I am missing some information as I do not have any numbers and know where they got 85 from.

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

How long is a guy wire reaching from the top of a 6ft. Pole to a point on the ground 4ft. From the pole

dlinn [17]

Answer:

the guy wire is 7.211 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that we are in the presence of a right angle triangle formed by: the height (the standing 6 ft pole), the base (the distance from the pole to the anchoring point on the ground), and the actual guy wire. See attached image for reference.

Notice that since pole and ground are perpendicular to each other (at 90 degrees) , the guy wire forms what is called the "hypotenuse" (longest side) of the right angle triangle. We can therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem with the formula for the hypotenuse:

$Hypotenuse=\sqrt{side1^2 +side2^2} \\Hypotenuse= \sqrt{6^2+4^2}\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{36+16} \\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{52} \\Hypotenuse=7.2111\, ft$
