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

Svetllana [295]
To find the percentage of something, simply multiply the percentage (converted into a decimal) and the total. 60% = 0.6. 0.6*1.15 = 0.69. 
The markup is $0.69.
To find the retail price, add the markup to the wholesale cost. 0.69+1.15= 1.84. 
The retail price is $1.84. 
Hope that helped you.

Is my answer correct? 10 points + brainleist!
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

your answer is incorrect.  The correct answer is  h=-13  and k=13 .

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic function is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c and a>0, then minimum value of the function at point \left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right).

The given function is

f(x)=x^2+bx+182

Here, a=1, b=b and c=182. So.

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{b}{2(1)}=-\dfrac{b}{2}

Put x=-\dfrac{b}{2} in the given function to find the minimum value of the function.

f(-\dfrac{b}{2})=(-\dfrac{b}{2})^2+b(-\dfrac{b}{2})+182

We know that minimum value is 13. So,

13=\dfrac{b^2}{4}-\dfrac{b^2}{2}+182

13-182=-\dfrac{b^2}{4}

-169=-\dfrac{b^2}{4}

169\times 4=b^2

Taking square root on both sides.

13\times 2=b

b=26

The value of b is 26.

So, the given function is  

f(x)=x^2+26x+182

Now, add and subtract square of half of coefficient of x.

f(x)=x^2+26x+182+(13)^2-(13)^2

f(x)=(x^2+2(13)x+(13)^2)+182-169

f(x)=(x+13)^2+13

On comparing with f(x)=(x-h)^2+k, we get

h=-13

k=13

Therefore, your answer is incorrect.

Type integer or fraction as answer simplify answer
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

51/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by making common denominators.

<u>7</u>       <u>2</u>

4       4

Now subtract the two.

7   -    2  = <u>5</u>

                 4

Now you have to make common denominators for the second part, 4/7

<u>16</u>  +  <u>35</u> = <u>51</u>

28     28    28
