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

PLEASE HELP URGENT<br><br> Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!

Mrs. Yin bought more turkey than chicken. I know because 0.80 is greater than 0.69
