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:
A

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezium is given as;
Area =
(a + b)h
where: a is the length of the upper side, b is the length of its base and h is its height.
This implies that; a = x - 4, b = x + 5, h = 2x and area = 351
Thus,
351 =
((x - 4) + (x + 50)) 2x
= (x - 4 + x + 5) x
531 = (2x + 1) x
= 2
+ x
So that;
2
+ x - 531 = 0
This gives a quadratic equation.
