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





Answer:
(6, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The actual coordinates are x = -6 and y = 3
If we rotate 180 degrees and the center of rotation is at (0,0), all we need to do is invert the signal of each axis, that is, we invert the sign of the original x-coordinate and invert the signal of the original y-coordinate.
So the final x-coordinate is - (-6) = 6
And the final y-coordinate is - (3) = -3
So the coordinates will be (6, -3).
Answer:
Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.
Ivy's age will be 
and Rose's age will be 
"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>
"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"
in six years Ivy will have
years, and Rose will have
years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

this will be our <u>second equation.</u>
Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

Rose is 12 years old.
and Ivy (using the fist equation):

Ivy is 6 years old.
