Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 84 cm

2*(length + width) = 84

2* (2x - 8 + x - 2) = 84

2*(2x + x - 8 - 2) = 84   {bring like terms together}

2*(3x - 10) = 84    {add/ subtract like terms}

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2*(3x-10)}{2}=\frac{84}{2}\\\\

3x - 10 = 42

3x - 10 +10 = 42 + 10   {add 10 to both sides}

3x = 52

Divide by 3,

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{52}{3}\\

x= 17 1/3

Length = 2x - 8

=2*\frac{52}{3}-8\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{8*3}{1*3}\\\\=\frac{104}{3}-\frac{24}{3}\\\\=\frac{104-24}{3}\\\\=\frac{80}{3}\\\\=26\frac{2}{3}

Answer:

1. wire is approx. 143.96 ft

2. pole is approx. 106.55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Mapping the information on the SOHCAHTOA picture below:

Φ = 46

wire = hypotenuse

adjacent side = 100

CAH is most suitable:

cos 46° = 100/wire => wire = 100/cos 46 ≈ 143.96

pole = opposite side + 3

TOA is most suitable:

tan 46° = (pole-3)/100 => pole = 3 + 100 * tan 46 ≈ 106.55

Which equation demonstrates the additive identity property?
Vika [28.1K]

we know that

Additive identity property:

If we add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then we get the same real number back.

The number zero is known as the identity element, or the additive identity.

For example: a+0 =a

we can see that adding gives same result

so, 0 is the additive identity here

Hence , option-B........Answer
