A wire is to be attached to support a telephone pole. Because of surrounding buildings, sidewalks, and​ roadways, the wire must

be anchored exactly 18 feet from the base of the pole. Telephone company workers have only 25 feet of​ cable, and 22 feet of that must be used to attach the cable to the pole and to the stake on the ground. How high from the base of the pole can the wire be​ attached?

This situation is a right triangle with the base measuring 18 and the hypotenuse 22.  We are looking for x, the height up the pole that the wire is going to be attached to.  We will use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing length.  22^2-18^2=x^2  and  484-324=x^2.  x^2 = 160 so x = 4 \sqrt{10} or 12.65 feet

The height of a parallelogram is one-third its base. If the area of the parallelogram is 363 square inches, find its base and he
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Height = 11 inches

Base = 33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to find the height and base of a parallelogram given the area of the parallelogram.

From the question, we are told that height is 1/3 of base. This means that base is 3 times the height

So if we represent the height with variable h, then the base is 3h

Mathematically the area of a parallelogram can be calculated by the formula

A = bh

Thus ,

363 = h * 3h

3h^2 = 363

divide through by 3

h^2 = 121

h = √121

h = 11 inches

since b = 3h , then b = 3 * 11 = 33 inches
