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)

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation through (4, 2) perpendicular to LaTeX: y=4x-4
marin [14]

Answer:

y=4x-4

slope of the line=-4/-1

                             4/1

since perpendicular,

    m1.m2=-1

    4.m2=-1

    m2=-1/4

The equation of line passing through the point (4,2)is

  y-y1=m2(x-x1)

  y-2=-1/4(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

To figure out what "x" means, you can divide the numbers 126 and 14  . . .

126 divided by 14 = 9

9 x 14 = 126

9 = x

----------------
x = 9
----------------

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
