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

What is the solution of the system?
kakasveta [241]

Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.

... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)

... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms

... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3

Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.

... 2x +4(-6) = -12

... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24

... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).

If the distance from the Sharks to the dolphins is 12ft, what is the distance from
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we notice that the traingles are similar which makes my work much easier.

27:42 can be simplified to 9:14.

That means x is 28

And sharks to dolphins is 12.

That means the smaller triangle is 27 18 12 and the bigger triangle is 42 28 and x. Try and do it yourself if you can't just comment and I'll help you :)
