You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem.
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:
A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.
3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.
25
the longer side / the shorter side must be the same for rectangles to be similar.
For A: 105 / 80 = 1.32
For B: 120 / 90 = 1.33
For C: 100 / 75 = 1.47
So... only A and B are similar.
The value of x, y and z from the system of equation are -1, -8 and 5 respectively.
Data;
- -2x + 6y + 3z = -31
- -3y + 7z = 59
- 2z = 10
<h3>System of Equation</h3>
To solve this problem, we have to solve the system of equation using substitution method.
From equation (iii)
let us substitute the value of z into equation (ii)
Let's substitute the value of x and y into equation (i)
From the calculation above, the value of x, y and z are -1, -8 and 5 respectively.
