Answer: 4004.76\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

inclination is \theta=75^{\circ}

Mountain is h=3900\ ft high

Cable is tied x=910\ ft from the base of the mountain

From the figure, length of the shortest path is l

It is given by using Pythagoras theorem

\Rightarrow l^2=3900^2+910^2\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{(3900)^2+(910)^2}\\\Rightarrow l=4004.76\ ft

Answer:

<h2>x = 7 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the given triangle:

P = (2x + 1) + (x + 2) + (3x - 9) and P = 36 cm.

Therefore we have the equation:

2x + 1 + x + 2 + 3x - 9 = 36          <em>combine like terms</em>

(2x + x + 3x) + (1 + 2 - 9) = 36

6x - 6 = 36      <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

6x = 42          <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

x = 7
