Answer:
<em> Length of guy wire is 590.6 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
A radio transmission tower is 210 feet tall. How long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 8 feet from the top and is to make an angle of 20° with the ground. Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
height of tower = 210 ft
8 ft fro the top leaves 210 - 8 = 202 ft to the ground
This is an angle of elevation problem
the opposite is 202 ft
hypotenuse = ?
angle is 20°
using sin ∅ = opp/hyp
sin 20° = 202/hyp
0.342 = 202/hyp
hyp = 202/0.342 = <em>590.6 ft this is the length of the guy wire</em>
Answer:
1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
5/12 - 3/8=?
The first step is to find a denominator (bottom number) that is the same for both fractions. In this case, 24 works.
10/24 - 9/24 = ?
1/24
Answer : 59%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
AC = 16 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
AD = CD = 10 in.
BD = 6 in.
AC = 2(AB) = ?
Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB
AB² = AD² - BD²
Substitute
AB² = 10² - 6²
AB² = 64
AB = √64
AB = 8
Therefore:
AC = 2(AB) = 2(8)
AC = 16 in.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line between two points can be calculated by dividing the difference of y values by the difference of x values
in this case
