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

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

42 Dimes, 10 Nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes are worth $0.10, nickels are worth $0.05.

If D = number of dimes, and N = number of nickels, then the following equations are true:

0.10D + 0.05N = 4.70

D + N = 52

Next, let's multiply the first equation by 10 so that we can subtract the second one from it.

D + 0.50N = 47

(-) D + N = 52

Subtracting the second equation from the first one gives:

-0.5N = -5

-0.5N/-0.5 = -5/-0.5

N = 10

Finally, substitute N in the original second equation to find D.

D + 10 = 52

D + 10 - 10 = 52 - 10

D = 42

Solve the following equation by using the distributive property: 5(x - 4) = 6
Pani-rosa [81]
You do 5 times x and 5 times 4 and you’d end up with equation that says 5x-4=6. The you add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the 4. Your equation should now say 5x=10. You divide both sides by 5 and you have your answer x=2
