Answer:
Correct choice is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider right triangle ABC formed by the telephone pole (side AB) and ground (side BC). In this triangle AC is the length of the wire, BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground and AB=15 ft, ∠ACB=42°.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is two times width plus two times length:

There is no way to simplify further.
The first given equation is:
4x + 3y = 6
which can be rewritten as:
2(2x) + 3y = 6 .............> equation I
The second given equation is:
2x + 2y = 5
which can be rewritten as:
2x = 5 - 2y ........> equation II
Substitute with equation II in equation I to get the value of y as follows:
2(5-2y) + 3y = 6
10 - 4y + 3y = 6
-y = 6-10 = -4
y = 4
Substitute with the y in equation II to get x as follows:
2x = 5 - 2y
2x = 5 - 2(4)
2x = 5 - 8 = -3
x = -3/2
From the above calculations:
x = -3/2
y = 4
