Well if she is making dinner for 10 people and each person want 2 pieces then you need to multiple 10 x 2 = 20. So she is going to need to make 20 pieces.
If each of her pumpkin pies only has 8 pieces then she is going to have to make 3 pies.
3 pies x 8 pieces = 24 pieces of pumpkin pie. So she has to make 3 pies because she needs 20 pieces since everyone wants 2.
In conclusion Mrs. Owens has to make 3 pies and she is going to have 4 pieces left over.
Answer:
16.2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so
a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us
10²+(length of pole)² = 19²
19²-10²=(length of pole)²
= 261
square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole
length of pole ≈ 16.2 m
