The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.

Further explanation:

The whole given scenario forms a right angle triangle. The pole is standing straight so it is the perpendicular while the guy wire goes from the top of pole to the anchor so it will be the hypotenuse. We have to finds the base.

Pythagoras theorem will be used.

Pythagoras theorem states that:

H^2=B^2+P^2

Given

Base=?

Perpendicular=12.4 m

Hypotenuse = 17.3 m

Putting the values

(17.3)^2=B^2+(12.4)^2\\299.29=B^2+153.76\\B^2=299.29-153.76\\B^2=145.53\\Takeing\ Square\ root\ on \both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{145.53}\\B=12.06\ m

The anchor of the guy wire is 12.06 meters away form base of electrical pole.

Keywords: Pythagoras theorem, Hypotenuse

Graph the system of equations.<br><br> {2x - y =4<br> {x - y = -2
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

2x-y=4

x-y=-2

We write the system in slope-intercept form:

y=2x-4

y=x+2

The first equation has slope of 2 and y-intercept at (0,-4)

When y=0, x=2.

We plot (0,-4) and (2,0) to graph this first equation.

The second equation has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept at (0,2)

Also when y=0, x=-2.

We plot (0,2) and (-2,0) and draw a straight line through them.

The graph of the system is shown in the attachment.
