A cable for a power transformer forms
1 answer:
Answer:
32 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, the side opposite the 60° angle is 28 feet.
We are looking for the approximate length of the cable.
The approximate length of the cable is the hypotenuse of the triangle shown.
Recall the sine ratio from SOH-CAH-TOA
Which means Sine of the angle is Opposite/Hypotenuse
Let the hypotenuse be h, then we have:
The length of the cable is approximately 32 feet

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 6 = x ( subtract 6 from both sides )
= x - 6 ( square both sides )
x = (x - 6)² ← expand using FOIL
x = x² - 12x + 36 ( subtract x from both sides )
0 = x² - 13x + 36 , that is
x² - 13x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = 4
left side = + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
right side = x = 4
Since 8 ≠ 4 then x = 4 is an extraneous solution
x = 9
left side = + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
right side = x = 9
Thus the solution is x = 9 → B
