This will solved using the concept of proportionality:
(height of the cliff)/(height of the pole)=(base of the cliff)/(length from base of pole to the rope)
thus, let the height of the cliff be x, plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
x/6=86/7
hence solving for x we get
x=(86×6)/7
x=73.71 ft
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
8 action, 3 comedy, 5 drama....total = 16 dvd's
P(2 action, then a comedy)...without replacement
8/16 * 7/15 * 3/14 = (8 * 7 * 3) / (16 * 15 * 14) = 168/3360 = 1/20
To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute

with

; so

and

. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:

Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form

. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is

(30) and its sum

(-11); those numbers are -5 and -6.

and

.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5.

and

. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:

Notice that we have

in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:

But remember than

, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:

Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is
