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)

Answer:

122 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The two intersecting lines are parallel for this problem, which means that the angle next to angle3 is the same degree measure as the one that is 58 degrees.

Also, remember that two angles next to each other on a straight line are supplementary, meaning that they add to 180 degrees.

When keeping these two things in mind, you can solve like this:

180 = angle3 + 58

180 - 58 = angle3

angle3 = 122

122 degrees
