ANSWER
D. 25 feet
EXPLANATION
The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.
According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.
Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.
Then
Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
Answer:
Length=5
Width=100
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a rectangle=length x width
500= 5 x 100
500=500

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>18
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>To round a number to the nearest whole number, we would check the fraction part:
If the fraction is <u>less than</u> 0.5, then we would simply ignore the fraction
If the fraction is <u>equal to or more than </u>0.5, then we would add 1 to the whole number and eliminate the fraction.
<u>In the given , we have:</u></span>
<span>.
The fraction part is </span>
<span> which is greater than 0.5
This means that we would add one to the whole number (round it up) and eliminate the fraction.
Therefore, the answer would be 18.
