Pytagorean theorem

height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away


a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c


so
6=height
8=base

6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c

so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30

30 yards needed

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -5, and the tenth term is 13.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The common difference is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

a1 = -5

a10 = 13

Substituting n=10 a10=13 and a1 =-5

13 = -5 +d (10-1)

13 = -5 +9d

Add 5 to each side

13+5 = -5+5 +9d

18 = 9d

Divide each side by 9

18/9 = 9d/9

2 =d
