Omar the tent maker wishes to support a 13.4-ft tent wall by attaching 25-ft cable to the top of it, and then anchoring the cabl

e to the ground. If the cable is pulled tight, how far from the base of the tent will it be anchored?

Answer:

21.11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This question would be solved using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

13.4² + b² = 25²

179.56 + b² = 625

b² = 625 - 179.56

b = 445.44

find the square root of 445.44

b = 21.11 ft

Find the number to add to x^2-18x

pentagon [3]

Answer:

A. add 81; $(x-9)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect square formula

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

Rewrite expression $x^2-18x$ as follows:

$x^2-2\cdot 9\cdot x$

So, to form a perfect square, $+9^2$ is missed.

When we add $9^2=81,$ we will get

$x^2-2\cdot 9\cdot x+9^2=(x-9)^2$

If r=0.5 and a6=0.03125 what is the value of a1?

andre [41]

I guess this is a geometric series:

a6 = a1 * r^5 so

a1 = 0.03125 / 0.5^5

= 1 answer

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss help

Lunna [17]

Answer:

37.68cm

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2 $\pi$ r

C = circumference

$\pi$ = the constant pi (3.14)

r = radius of the circle (6cm)

d = diameter of the circle (12cm)

d = 2r

C = 2 · 3.14 · 6

C = 37.68cm
