Answer:
b = 12.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a*2 + b*2 = c*2
6*2 + b*2 = 14*2
36 + b*2 = 196
Subtract 36 from both sides
36 + b*2 = 196
-36 -36
b*2 = 160
Find the square root of both
b = 12.64911064 or 12.6
The cable should be 50 feet.
If you draw the picture, you will see that you have a right triangle.
Let's just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (or cable).
30^2 + 40^2 = c^2
2500 = c^2
50 = c
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
therefore your answer is x = -1 and y = 18
