The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.
If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.
Just set up and use the Pythagorean Theorem.
15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c
Answer:
The 1st, 2nd and last statement on the +3 side and the rest three statements on the -3 side
-----------------------------------------------
Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 = 5 * .5
1 = 1
70 = 2 * 5 * 7
LCM = 2 * 5 * 7
If you include the 1/2, you will reduce the LCM to 35, but 70 will be left out of the LCM.
