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

Answer:

\therefore 2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = -\dfrac{7}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to dividing a fraction by proper and another fraction

The given expression is presented as follows;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right )

We rearrange the fractions as improper  fractions for easier division as follows;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  = \dfrac{7}{3}

-3\dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{11}{3}

Therefore, we have;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \div \left (-\dfrac{11}{3} \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \times \left (\dfrac{1}{-\dfrac{11}{3} } \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \div \left (-\dfrac{3}{11} \right ) =-\dfrac{7}{11}

\therefore 2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = -\dfrac{7}{11}
