Answer:

The wire is approximately 42feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can mentally sketch out the shape that is formed between the guy wire and the antenna tower. This is simply a right-angled triangle with the opposite side being the height of the antenna (30 feet). The adjacent side is the distance on the ground between the point where the wire was fastened and the base of the antenna.

The hypotenuse side is the length of the wire we are looking for.

Parameters are given as:

Opposite : 30ft

Adjacent: 30ft

Hypotenuse: x feet

The hypotenuse = \sqrt{opp^2 + adj^2}

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{30^2+ 30^2} \approx 42ft

The weight of an apple is 150g, rounded to the nearest 5g. what is the lower bound and upper bound?
Aneli [31]

The lower bound is 147.5 and the upper bound is 152.5.

Given the weight of an apple 150 g rounded to the nearest 5g.

We have to find lower bound and upper bound.

Lower bound is an element less than or equal to all the elements in a given set.

Upper bound is an element greater than all the elements in a given set.

Lower bound= Number 1- (Number nearest to  which number 1 is rounded)/2

Upper bound=Number 1+(number nearest to which number 1 is rounded)/2

Weight of an apple =150 g

Lower bound=150-5/2

=150-2.5

=147.5

Upper bound=150+5/2

=150+2.5

=152.5

Hence the lower bound is 147.5 and upper bound is 152.5.
