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 equation of the line that passes through (2, -7) and (-1, 2)?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

First, we find the slope of the line using the two given points.

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-7))/(-1 - 2) = (2 + 7)/(-3) = 9/(-3) = -3

Now we plug in the slope we found into the equation above.

y = -3x + b

We need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use point (2, -7), so x = 2, and y = -7.

y = -3x + b

-7 = -3(2) + b

-7 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-1 = b

Now we plug in -1 for b.

y = -3x - 1

What do y’all think the world is going to be in the future
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

No trees and just buildings.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the future, it is most likely to have some tall, bulky buildings.

Some scientists say that the future will be more about buildings and work spaces and less about trees.

So it is MORE likely for the future to have at least... 20 trees in the park. Also, less land. The land will be used to build buildings.
