It is 45 yd from the base of the pole.

The pieces of the right triangle we are given are one of the legs (the height of the pole, 60 yd) and the hypotenuse (the length of the cable, 75 yd).  Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

60²+b²=75²
3600+b²=5625

Subtract 3600 from both sides:
3600+b²-3600=5625-3600
b²=2025

Take the square root of both sides:
√(b²) = √2025
b = 45

Expand 6(x-8)= x- (8) = help me
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-8)= x- (8)

6x - 48=x - 8

6x- 48 + 48 = x - 8 + 48

6x = x + 40

6x - x = x + 40 - x

5x = 40

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

Hope it helps! :)

What is the area, in square inches, of the isosceles trapezoid below?
Komok [63]
A = 73.84

Explanation-

14.2 - 6.4 = 7.8 (to get the length of the base without the top part)

7.8 • 5.2 = 40.56 (to find the area outside of our subtracted square that has the top part)

6.4 • 5.2 = 33.28 (to find the area of the inner square)

40.56 + 33.28 = 73.84 (adding together both parts to find the total area)

A = 73.84
