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.

At an archeological​ site, the remains of two ancient step pyramids are congruent. If ABCD is congruent to EFGH, find GH
Alona [7]

Answer:

40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If two polygons are congruent to one another, therefore, it implies that the angles and sides of one is congruent to the corresponding sides and angles of the other.

Given that ABCD is congruent to EFGH, therefore:

CD ≅ GH

Since CD = 40 ft, therefore, GH will be 40 ft.

There are 7 animals a farmer's field.
sergey [27]

Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5
