Answer:

C. 42 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 14. The two given sides are 5·14 = 70 and 4·14 = 56. Then the missing side is 3·14 = 42.

If not, you can use the Pythagorean theorem in the usual way:

... hypotenuse² = leg1² +leg2²

... 70² = 56² +leg2²

... leg2 = √(70² -56²) = √1764 = 42 . . . . yards

The cable is anchored 42 yards from the  base of the tower.

What is 4 apples and 5 bananas? Combining like terms
Scilla [17]

Answer:

x = -0.8y

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4y + 5x = 0

Reorder the terms:

5x + 4y = 0

Solving

5x + 4y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.

5x + 4y + -4y = 0 + -4y

Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0

5x + 0 = 0 + -4y

5x = 0 + -4y

Remove the zero:

5x = -4y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = -0.8y

Simplifying

x = -0.8y

------------------------

I hope this helps.

Answer:

144m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of trapezoidal prism, you would have to multiple the area of the trapezoid by the height of the prism.

The formula for trapezoid is 1/2(L+W) x H

So the area of trapezoid would be 1/2(10+6) x 2 = 16

The height is 9m so it would be 16 x 9, which is 144m

How do u find the angle measure of l<br>​
givi [52]

Answer:

The best way to measure an angle is to use a protractor. To do this, you'll start by lining up one ray along the 0-degree line on the protractor. Then, line up the vertex with the midpoint of the protractor. Follow the second ray to determine the angle's measurement to the nearest degree.
