You can use Pythagorean theorem to solve

10 squared + 3 squared = x squared
100+9=x squared
109=x squared
square route 109 and x to get
10.44=x

Answer:

<h2>The wire is around 10.4 meters long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem models a right triangle, where the legs are the height of the pole, and the horizontal distance from each guy to the base of the pole, the hypothenuse is the wire.

So, basically the problem is asking for the length of the hypothenuses, this means we can use the pythagorean theorem to find it

a^{2}=b^{2} +c^{2}

Where a represents the length of the wire, b represents the height of the pole and c represents the horizontal distance between the guy wire and the base of the pole.

According to the problem b=10 and c=3, replacing these values, we have

a^{2}=10^{2} +3^{2}=109\\a=\sqrt{109}\approx 10.4

Therefore, the wire is around 10.4 meters long.

Evaluate: \frac{23}{56} + \frac{3}{8} - ( - \frac{4}{28} )
MrMuchimi
I think this is what you mean. I don't know why the Latex didn't work. Good for you that you can use it.

\frac{23}{56} +  \frac{3}{8} - \frac{-4}{28}
\frac{23}{56} + \frac{3}{8} - \frac{-4}{28} Reduce the 4/28 to 1/7
\frac{23}{56} + \frac{3}{8} - \frac{-1}{7} Make the 2 minuses into a +
\frac{23}{56} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{7} 56 is the common denominator.
\frac{23}{56} + \frac{21}{56} + \frac{8}{56}

Answer = [23 + 21 + 8] / 56 = 52 / 56 = 13 / 14 When both numerator and denominator are divided by 4

13 / 14 <<<< answer.

Is 2.73234(34 repeating) rational or irrational?
Fittoniya [83]

It's rational because of the repeating digits.

We have

<em>x</em> = 2.732<u>343434</u>…

Then

1,000<em>x</em> = 2,732.343434…

and

100,000<em>x</em> = 273,234.343434…

Subtracting these makes the fractional part go away, leaving you with

100,000<em>x</em> - 1,000<em>x</em> = 273,234.343434… - 2,732.343434…

100,000<em>x</em> - 1,000<em>x</em> = 273,234 - 2,732

99,000<em>x</em> = 270,502

<em>x</em> = 270,502/99,000 = 135,251/49,500

which is clearly a rational number.

a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 65cm what is the length of one revolution of the wheel PLEASE HELP​
Lana71 [14]

AnswerAnswerAnswerAnswer: C = πd = 65π = 204.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation: C = pi*d

where d is the diameter.

First we get the circumference, then we multiply it by the number of revolutions, which is 20:

C = 3.14 * 65

C = 204.1 cm (this is only equal to 1 revolution)

Therefore, total distance travelled in after 20 revolutions is

204.1 * 20 = 4082 cm
