How long is a guy wire reaching from the top of a 6ft. Pole to a point on the ground 4ft. From the pole

Answer:

The guy wire is 7.2111 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that we are in the presence of a right angle triangle formed by: the height (the standing 6 ft pole), the base (the distance from the pole to the anchoring point on the ground), and the actual guy wire. See attached image for reference.

Notice that since pole and ground are perpendicular to each other (at 90 degrees) , the guy wire forms what is called the "hypotenuse" (longest side) of the right angle triangle. We can therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem with the formula for the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{side1^2 +side2^2} \\Hypotenuse= \sqrt{6^2+4^2}\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{36+16} \\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{52} \\Hypotenuse=7.2111\, ft

Add fraction 6 4/5 + 3 7/10 how do i add this fraction
Dafna1 [17]
The answer is 10 1/2.

First you need to convert 4/5 and 7/10 so the denominator is the same. 4/5=8/10, 7/10 stays the same.

Now we add= 6 8/10 +3 7/10 =9 15/10.
9 15/10=10 5/10=10 1/2.

Hope this helps and hope you have a great day and please make brainiest

Answer:

Slope: -\frac{3}{4}

Y intercept: 7

Equation: y=-\frac{3}{4}x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by doing the equation \frac{rise}{run}. When looking at the first two points, it's shown that the rise (difference between the two y values) is -3 (since it decreased by 3) and the run (difference between the two x values) is 4 (since it increased by 4).

This gives us a slope of -\frac{3}{4}.

The y intercept is found by looking at the y value when x = 0. In this picture, it is clear that it is 7.

The equation you want to use is y = mx + b , where b is the y intercept and m is the slope. Just plug in the numbers and you got your equation!
