It’s 3! 3x4 is 12 and 5 isn’t a factor of 12
C. The horizontal distance is 11
We know Hypotenuse, and we are trying to find Adjacent. Hence, we need to use cosine.
Let X be the distance between the buildings.
cos17° = X/10
X = 10cos17° = 9.56 yards
Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of one container = x pounds
Therefore, weight of 5 containers = 5x pounds
Weight of the platform = 30 pounds
Total weight of the platform and containers = (5x + 30) pounds
If the maximum weight that can be lifted by the cable = 780 pounds
Inequality representing this situation will be,
(5x + 30) < 780
5x < 780 - 30
5x < 750
x < 150
Therefore, Option (B) is the answer.
