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

Mathematics

LenKa [72]3 years ago
5 0

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

Noah was asked to find the median of the following numbers.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Noah did not make any error

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a list of strictly increasing numbers is simply the middle number. If there's an even number of numbers in the list, then the median is the average of the middle two terms.

Here, the numbers are 115, 109, 117, 136, 127, 131. When ordered from least to greatest, we get: 109, 115, 117, 127, 131, and 136, which is what Noah got.

Since there are 6 numbers (6 is even), the median will be the average of the middle two numbers, which are 117 and 127: (117 + 127)/2 = 244/2 = 122

So, Noah was correct.

Choose the set of equivalent fractions that correctly uses the LCD for these fractions: 2/9 and 5/12
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the lowest common denominator (LCD) is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominator numbers (the ones at the bottom of the fractions).

finding the LCM of 9 and 12 using the prime factor method :

9 = 3×3

12 = 2×2×3

the LCM is the combination of the longest chains per prime factor. which means we have 2×2 and 3×3 as longest chains for 2 and 3.

LCD = LCM = 2×2×3×3 = 36

2/9 turns into x/36 by multiplying by 4/4 :

2/9 × 4/4 = 8/36

5/12 turns into x/36 by multiplying by 3/3 :

5/12 × 3/3 = 15/36

so, the third answer option is correct.
