Answer:

791.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cable is inclined and this acts as the hypotenuse. Since the other two sides are given.

H=\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}

where x and y represent the distance between two cliffs apart and difference in heights. Substituting 740 for x and 280 for y then

H=\sqrt {740^{2}+280^{2}}=791.20161779409930627669981858168023442712 ft\approx 791.2 ft

Answer:

791.2 ft to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,we assume :

AD to be the height of the first cliff

BC to be the height of the second cliff

DC to be the length of the cable between the top of the two cliff.

AD=740 ft.

DE= 280 ft.

Using Pythagorean Theorem, we obtain.;

{DE}^{2}+ {CE}^{2} =  {DC}^{2}

By substitution we obtain

{280}^{2} +  {740}^{2} =

\implies78400 + 547600 =  {DC}^{2}

\implies626000=  {DC}^{2}

Taking positive square root.

\implies DC = \sqrt{626000}

\implies DC =791.202 ft

Answer:

<u>S': (2, 1)</u>

<u>T': (5, 3)</u>

<u>U': (1, -4)</u>

<u>S'': (1, 3)</u>

<u>T'': (4, 5)</u>

<u>U'': (0, -2)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

For Reflection Across the X-Axis use this :

(x, y) -> (x, - y)

So :

S': (2, 1)

T': (5, 3)

U': (1, -4)

and then the question also asks for a translation so we follow what it gave us:

S'': (1, 3)

T'': (4, 5)

U'': (0, -2)

Please ask me any questions that you still may have!

and Have a great day! :)
