Answer:the height of the flagpole is 27.12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The wire makes an angle with the ground and forms a right angle triangle with the flag pole. The length of the wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the flag pole and the ground distance from the wire represents the adjacent and opposite sides respectively.

To determine the height of the flagpole, x we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

31² = x² + 15²

x² = 961 - 225 = 736

x = √736. = 27.12 ft

X+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x+y+2=-5 -2x-y+2=-1 x-2y-2=0 solve algebraically

x+y+2=-5     equation 1

-2x-y+2=-1    equation 2

x-2y-2=0      equation 3

Add equation 1 + 2+ 3

x+y+2=-5 + -2x-y+2+1 + x-2y-2

x+y+2= -7+2+1-2x+x+y

x+y+2= -4-x+y

x+y+2+4+x-y= 0

2x+6= 0

2x= -6

divide both side by 2

x= -3

from equation 1 insert x

x+y+2=-5

since x=-3

then, -3+2+y= -5

-1+y= -5

y= -5+1

y= -4

A water wheel has a radius measuring between 13 feet and 24 feet. The wheel is able to turn 7π9 radians from its starting positi
madam [21]

Answer:

31.76 ft and 58.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius measures between 13 feet and 24 feet.

The wheel is able to turn 7π/9 radians before getting stuck.

We need to find the range of distances that the wheel could spin before getting stuck. That is, the length of arc.

Length of an arc is given as:

L = \frac{\theta}{2\pi} * 2\pi r

where θ = central angle = 7π/9 radians

r = radius of the circle

Therefore, for 13 feet:

L = \frac{7\pi}{18 \pi} * 2 * \pi * 13\\\\L = 31.76 ft

For 24 feet:

L = \frac{7\pi}{18 \pi} * 2 * \pi * 24\\\\L = 58.64 ft

The wheel could spin between 31.76 ft and 58.64 ft before getting stuck.
