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

Siri is grocery shopping. She is buying macaroni. One box is 6 inches long, 1 inch wide and 9
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The second box  

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid can be given by the formula:  V=31​Ah. Where.  A:  Area of the V=(1/3)(B)(h)

multiply both sides by 3

3V=Bh

divide both sides by B

3V/B=h

Therefore, If it is wider it has more space to carry more items such as macaroni.

I hope this helps! (:
