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)

27^x −1 = 9^3x−7 what is X
tigry1 [53]

x is \frac{11}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some rules of exponents

  • (a^{n})(a^{n})=a^{m+n}
  • \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}
  • (a^{m})^{n}=a^{mn}
  • a^{m}=a^{n} , then m = n

∵ 27^{x-1}=9^{3x-7}

- Factorize 27 and 9

∵ 27 = 3 × 3 × 3

∴ 27 = 3³

∵ 9 = 3 × 3

∴ 9 = 3²

Substitute them in the equation

∴ (3^{3})^{x-1}=(3^{2})^{3x-7}

- Use the third rule to simplify each side

∴ (3)^{3x-3}=(3)^{6x-14}

- Use the fourth rule

∵ The bases of the two sides are equal

∴ Their exponents are equal

∴ 3x - 3 = 6x - 14

- Subtract 6x from both sides

∴ -3x - 3 = -14

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ -3x = -11

Divide both sides by -3

∴ x = \frac{11}{3}

x is \frac{11}{3}
