Answer:

<h3>The number is 500</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

The quotient of a number divided by five is written as

$\frac{x}{5}$

the number decreased by 400 is written as

x - 400

Equate the two expressions

We have

$\frac{x}{5} = x - 400$

Multiply through by 5

That's

x = 5x - 2000

x - 5x = - 2000

- 4x = - 2000

Divide both sides by - 4

x = 500

Hope this helps you

A radio station is going to construct a 5-foot tower on top of a building. the tower will be supported by three cables, each att

KonstantinChe [14]

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.
