The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is 

                                       0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft

Identify three solutions of the graph shown. Please help
barxatty [35]
From the graph, we can see that the graph crosses the x-axis at the point (1.5, 0) the graph also passes through point (1, 1) and the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 3).

Therefore, points (1.5, 0), (1, 1) and (0, 3) are some of the solutions of the graph.

Answer:

a ) 400 percent

b )  n = 25

c)  n= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Is means equals, of means multiply and percents need to be changed to decimals.

a) 120 is what percentage of 30

120 = P * 30

Divide each side by 30

120/30 =P* 30/30

4 = P

Multiply by 100 to give the percentage

4 * 100

400 percent


b) 30 is 120% of what number

30 = 1.2 * n

Divide each side by 1.2

30/1.2 = 1.2n/1.2

25  = n


c) what number is 30%of 120

n = .3 * 120

n =36
