A flagpole has a height of 16 yards. It will be supported by three cables, each of which is attached to the flagpole at a point

4 yards below the top of the pole and attached to the ground at a point that is 9 yards from the base of the pole. Find the total number of yards of cable that will be required.

Cables are forming 3 right angled triangles the pole being the shared height of them;

(height) b= 12yd
(base) a= 9yd
(hypotenuse) c= ?
Need to find the long side (hypotenuse);

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 9^2 = 225
Take square root of 225 = 15
Then you have;

1x 12yd = 12
3x 9 yd = 27
3x 15yd = 45

Add them up = 84yd of cable needed

Answer: There are 45 yards of cable that will be required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of cable = 16 yards - 4 yards = 12 yards

Distance from pole = 9 yards

cable is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

So, it becomes,

c^2=b^2+p^2\\\\c^2=1262+9^2\\\\c^2=144+81\\\\c^2=225\\\\c=\sqrt{225}\\\\c=15\ yards

Since , number of cable supported = 3

So, Number of yards of cable that will be required would be

3\times 15\\\\=45\ yards

Hence, there are 45 yards of cable that will be required.

Need help with the left side
Alenkinab [10]

Use mental math to solve each equation:

1.). - 52 = - 52 + k

Simplify both sides.

- 52 = - 52 + k

Flip Equation:

k - 52 = - 52

Add 52 both sides:

k - 52 + 52 = -52 + 52

k = 0, Answer: K = 0


3.). x - 155 = 15

Add 155 to both sides:

x - 155 + 155 = 15 + 155

x = 170, Answer: 170


5.). 2,000 + y = 9,500

Simplify both sides:

y + 2000 = 9500

Subtract 2000 from both sides:

y + 2000 - 2000 = 9500 - 2000

y = 7500, Answer: 7500 Graph: 7500


7.). 111 + f = 100

Simplify both sides:

f + 111 = 100

Subtract 111 from both sides:

f + 111 - 111 = 100 - 111

f = - 11, Answer: f = - 11




Solve each equations:

9.). m - 17 = - 8

Add 17 to both sides:

m - 17 + 17 = - 8 + 17

m = 9, Answer: m = 9



11.). - 44 + n = 36

Simplify both sides of the equations:

n - 44 = 36

Add 44 to both sides:

n - 44 + 44 = 36 + 44

n = 80, Answer: n = 80



13.). x - 255 = 671

Add 255 to both sides:

x - 255 + 255 = 671 + 255

x = 926, Answer: x = 926



15.). x + 14 = 21

Subtract 14 from both sides:

x + 14 - 14 = 21 - 14

x = 7, Answer: x = 7



17.). - 19 = k + 9

Flip equation:

K + 9 = - 19

Subtract 9 from both sides:

k + 9 - 9 = - 19 - 9

k = - 28, Answer: k = - 28



19.). 36 + n = 75

Simplify both sides of equation:

n + 36 = 75

Subtract 36 from sides:

n + 36 - 36 = 75 - 36

n = 39, Answer: n = 39



21.). 41 + k = 7

Simplify both sides of equation:

k + 41 = 7

Subtract 41 from both sides:

k + 41 - 41 = 7 - 41

k = - 34, Answer: k = - 34




23.). - 88 + z = 0

Simplify both sides of equation:

z - 88 = 0

Add 88 to both sides:

z - 88 + 88 = 0 + 88

z = 88, Answer: z = 88





Hope that helps!!!! :)

Some amount of billiard balls were arranged in an equilateral triangle. And 4 balls were extra. When the same set of billiard ba
vitfil [10]
<span>25 The number of balls to make an equilateral triangle with the sides of length n is expressed by the formula n(n+1)/2 So to express the number of balls you have is b = n(n+1)/2 + 4 With the larger arrangement you have b = (n+1)(n+2)/2 - 3 Both of those qualities are equal to each other, so set an equation where they're equal. Then solve for n n(n+1)/2 + 4 = (n+1)(n+2)/2 - 3 Distribute the n term on the left (n^2 + n)/2 + 4 = (n+1)(n+2)/2 - 3 Distribute the /2 on the left. 0.5n^2 + 0.5n + 4 = (n+1)(n+2)/2 - 3 Multiply (n+1)(n+2) on right, then distribute the /2 0.5n^2 + 0.5n + 4 = 0.5n^2 + 1.5n + 1 - 3 Subtract 0.5n^2 + 0.5n from both sides 4 = n + 1 - 3 Add 2 to each side 6 = n So the original triangle had sides with a length of 6, for a total number of balls of 6(6+1)/2 = 21 with 4 extra giving 25 balls. Let's check with the next larger triangle 7(7+1)/2 = 28 with 3 balls shortage. Which 25 balls would make happen. So the number of balls in the set is 25</span>
