The pole is 12 foot long.

The wire from the top to the ground, 6feet from the pole, forms a right angle triangle.

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

x² = 12² + 6²

x² = 144 + 36

x² = 180          Take the square root of both sides.

x  = √180              Use a calculator

x ≈ 13.42 feet.

Length of wire ≈ 13.42 feet.

What is the value of H
never [62]

Answer:

h = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

the 2 unknown interior angles = 180 - 2h ( straight angle ), hence

the sum of the 3 angles

180- 2h + 180 - 2h + 40 = 180

400 - 4h = 180 ( subtract 400 from both sides )

- 4h = - 220 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

h = 55

Counting how many errors are in one chapter of a book is an example of measuring what kind of quality characteristics
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Attributes.

Step-by-step explanation:

An attribute is characterized as a person, position, or thing's quality or characteristic. Individuals in real life and fictional characters have different characteristics. Someone could be called attractive, charming, funny, or intelligent, for instance. Well, in math, an attribute is a characteristic of a math object - it's what this object has. An attribute of the book is the number of errors in a chapter of the book.

Geometry help please!!!
julia-pushkina [17]
Before we begin, let's identify what kind of angles these are and are they related in any way?

These angles are both acute and they are both corresponding angles.
Corresponding angles are equal to each other, and we can use this fact to our advantage.

Since they are equal to each other, we can set the equations of 1 and 2 equal to each other. Like so,

1 = 2
83 - 2x = 92 - 3x

Now, we can solve for X by isolating it on one side.

83 - 2x = 92 - 3x

Add 3x to each side: (This basically moves the X on the right side to the left.)
83 - 2x + 3x = 92 - 3x + 3x
83 + x = 92

Subtract 83 on each side to isolate the X.
83 + x - 83 = 92 - 83 
x = 92 - 83
x = 9

Therefore, X equals 9. To check our work, we can substitute X for 9.
83 - 2(9) = 92 - 3(9)
83 - 18 = 92 - 27
65 = 65  - 
TRUE

So to conclude, Angle 1 is 65 degrees, Angle 2 is 65 degrees, and X equals 9.

Hope I could help you out!
