Cables are forming 3 right angled triangles the pole being the shared height of them;
(height) b= 12yd
(base) a= 9yd
(hypotenuse) c= ?
Need to find the long side (hypotenuse);
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 9^2 = 225
Take square root of 225 = 15
Then you have;
1x 12yd = 12
3x 9 yd = 27
3x 15yd = 45
Add them up = 84yd of cable needed
Let x equal Thomas' age. Then Huilan's age is 2x. Set up an equation to model this situation:
x+2x=78
<em>*Combine like terms*</em>
3x=78
<em>*Divide both sides by 3*</em>
x=26
Hope this helps!!
Put the value of x to the inequality:
