You are told 2/9 = 16
Let total number of batteries = x
So you now have 2/9x = 16
To find x divide both sides by 2/9
X = 72 total batteries
Please rewrite this equation(s) using parantheses than needed
thank you
You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem.
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:
A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.
3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.
