Answer: It is about 23 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.

2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.

3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:

x=\sqrt{(24ft)^{2}-(6ft)^{2}}\\x=\sqrt{540ft^{2}}

x≈ 23ft

The coordinates of LMN are L (4,5), M (5,-2), and N (0,0). If the triangle is rotated 270° about point N, what are the coordinat
tester [92]

Answer: (-2,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotation rule for rotating a figure about 270^{\circ} is given by :-

(x,y)\to (y,-x) , where (x,y) is the coordinates for pre-image and (y,-x) is the coordinates for image.       (1)

Given : The coordinates of LMN are L (4,5), M (5,-2), and N (0,0).

If the triangle is rotated 270° about point N

Then, the coordinates of M , will be :

(5,-2)\to (-2,-5)   (Using the rule described in (1))

Hence, the coordinates of M after rotated 270° about point N=(-2,-5).
