The cable should be 50 feet.
If you draw the picture, you will see that you have a right triangle.
Let's just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (or cable).
30^2 + 40^2 = c^2
2500 = c^2
50 = c
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
the column (x) the numbers go up by 4 every time and the (y) column goes up by 7 every time
Answer: 122.5
======================================================
Explanation:
First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.
The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x
(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2
x/35 = 7/2
x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply
2x = 245
2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x = 122.5
The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
Hi <span>Camrynb10705oxknsv!
So let's take a look at the answers they give. A is 2.5 - 2.2 and all that is is switching the numbers so that isn't right. B they do addition instead of subtraction so that can't be right. C they do 2.2 + (-2.5) and when you add a negative number it's like subtraction because a negative number is under 0 and so your adding a number under 0 so you go down. So the answer is C.
If you need me to explain it different let me know. Hope this helps!</span>
