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 ratio is proportional to 18/28 ? <br> Help me plzzzz i will give brainliest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

18/21 = 30/35

Step-by-step explanation:

so the problem says 18/21 so if that's the correct ratio to proportion to the answer would be. 30/35. the reason is that you can divide 18 and 21 by 3 to get 6/7 then if you multiply by 5 you get 30/35. Dividing and multiplying both the denominator and numerator keeps the ratio proportional.

Alik [6]
-3 > -7
u have to remember, with negatives, the larger number is smaller in value.

when u plot these numbers on the number line, the number that is farthest to the left is less then...the number that is farthest to the right is greater then. 

-3 is warmer because it is closer to zero then -7.
