Answer:
3.32ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire and the poles attached to the ground form a right triangle with the length of the wire being the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
Hypotenuse²=Adjacent²+Opposite²
6²=5²+x²
x²=36-25
x²=11
x=√11=3.32 ft.
The wires are attached 3.32 ft from the base of the pole on the ground
The volume of a cylinder is pi*height*radius^2 = pi*5*(14/2)^2 = 769.69 ft^3. To get the total gallons multiply 769.69 ft^3 by 7.5gal/ft^3 to get 5772.6765 gallons or 5773 gallons rounded to nearest whole number.
Since BC is the hypotenuse...
α = 12
c = 13
Hence..
13² = 12² + ß²
ß = √(13² - 12²)
= √(169 - 144)
= √25
= 5
Hence, AB = 5
I hope this helps!
b is two fifths of c, so we make this a ratio with c = 1.
The ratio of b:c is 2/5 : 1
We also have 4a = 3c, rewrite this ratio so c is 1 by dividing both sides by 4,
so we get the ratio of a to c as 3/4 : 1
Now we get the a:b:c ratio of 3/4 : 2/5 : 1 now we can change the fractions to whole numbers, first by multiplying the 3 numbers by 4 to get get rid of the denominator of 4 in a:
3 : 8/5 : 4
Now multiply the 3 numbers by 5 to remove the denominator of 5 in b:
15 : 8 : 20
Now we can check using the equations:
b is 2/5 of c: 20 x 2/5 = 40/5 = 8 This is true.
4a = 3c: 4(15) = 3(20) = 60 = 60, this is also true.
The ratios is 15 : 8: 20
