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.

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?<br><br> 24<br> 25<br> 64<br> 100
stich3 [128]
Hi! 

A perfect square is the product of when a whole number is multiplied by itself

Ex:

6 × 6 = 36, 36 is the perfect square. 

The number that is being multiplied is the square root. 

So to find the correct answer for this question, let's use the process of elimination. 

100 = 10 × 10 so we can cross out 100

64 = 8 × 8 so we can cross out 64

25 = 5 × 5 so we can cross out 25

Now all we have left is 24, which is not a perfect square. 

Answer: A. 24

Hope this helps :)

What is the markup percent on a diamond for which the markup is $870 and the selling price is $2870?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

30.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark up on selling price is given by markup*100%/selling price

In this case, markup is given as $870 while the selling price is $2870 hence the percentage of narkup to selling price will be given by \frac {870\times 100}{2870}=30.313588850174\approx 30.31

Therefore, the percentage of markup to selling price is approximately 30.31%
