Answer:

The height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the pythagoream theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As given

A 200 foot wire is attached from the top of a tower to a point on the ground 40 feet from the base of the tower.

As the diagram is given below .

Hypotenuse= AB = 200 feet

Base = CB = 40 feet

Perpendicular = AC

Put all the value in the above

200² = 40² + AC²

40000 = 1600 + AC²

AC² = 40000 - 1600

AC² = 38400

AC = √38400

AC = 196 feet (Approx)

Therefore the height of the tower is 196 feet .

Option (C) is correct .

200^2 = 40^2 + b^2
40000 = 1600 + b^2
38400 = b^2
b = 196 ft (c)

Divide and answer in simplest form: 1/3 divided by 5
disa [49]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can divide 1/3 by 5 by changing the division symbol to its reciprocal, multiplication, and also divide by the reciprocal of the number after the symbol, 5. The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

2. Now you can do 1/3 multiplied by 1/5. Multiply the numerators by the denominators. The numerators are 1 and 1, so you multiply 1 by 1 which equals 1. Now you multiply the denominators, 3 and 5, which is equal to 15. If the numerator is now 1, and the denominator is 15, the new fraction is 1/15, getting you to your answer

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid<br> PLEASE HELP ASAP
Whitepunk [10]
Area = 1/2 base x height so you would find the area of one of the 3 larger sides which would be 12.2x6.1=74.42 then divide it by 2 which is 37.21. Then multiply it by 3 because of the other sides that are the same which gets you 111.63. Then you find the area of the bottom triangle by doing 5.3x6.1= 32.33 then divide it by 2 which is 16.165. Then you add both numbers together and you get 127.795. Answer is 127.795
