Answer:

The height of the flag pole is 20 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A rope 29 ft long rope is tied to the top of a flag pole.

The rope is staked to the ground 21 ft away from the base of the pole.

As shown in the figure given below.

By using the pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

AC² = AB² + BC²

As

AC = 29 feet

BC = 21 feet

Put in the above

29² = AB² + 21²

841 = AB² + 441

841 -441 = AB²

400 = AB²

AB = \sqrt{400}

AB = 20 feet

Therefore the height of the flag pole is 20 feet .

The Pythagorean Theorem: L1² + L2² = H²
L2² = H² - L1²
L2² = 29² - 21²
L2² = 841 - 441 
L2² = 400 (find the square root of both sides)
L2 = 20 The pole is 20 ft tall

As a town gets smaller, the population of its high school decreases by 6% each year, teh senior class has 250 students now. in h
NISA [10]
An equation to solve for the time when the high school will have exactly 100 students is (1-.06)^x = (250/100).  
That simplifies to 94^x = .4.  
We can then take the log of both sides to isolate the x variable from the exponent. Here's with natural log.  
x*ln(.94)=ln(.4)
 x = ln(.4)/ln(.94)  
Solving this gives x ~= 14.80. So in about 15 years, the high school will have 100 students.

Match each unit rate to the graph that represents it. 1/5. 2/5. 3/7. 1/3. 2/9.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

First graph = 2/9

Second graph = 3/7

Third graph = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate can be defined as number of y units changed with respect to the number of x units changed.

Consider the first graph, we can see that for x=9, the change that occurs in y is equals to 2 units. So its units can be given as 2/9

Consider the second graph, we can see that for x=7, the change that occurs in y is equals to 3 units. So its units can be given as 3/7

Consider the third graph, we can see that for x=5, the change that occurs in y is equals to 1 units. So its units can be given as 1/5.
