Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional solid.
A rectangular prism has six faces (each one of these faces are rectangles), eight vertices and twelve edges.
You know that this rectangular prism has 5 layers and the volume of one of these layers is 18 cubic centimeters ().
Assuming that all these layers are equal, the volume of this rectangular prism can be calculated with:
Where is the volume of one layer.
Substituting, you get:

Answer:
<em>Approximately 43 feet of minimum cable is needed. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved using Trigonometry and Pythagorean theorem. Pythagorean theorem applies on right-triangles (<em>which are known to have one 90° angle</em>). The theorem states that the square of the Hypotenuse is obtained by the squared sum of the other two sides of the triangle (i.e the two sides forming the 90° angle - with the hypotenuse side being across it as:
Eqn. (1)
where
is the hypotenuse
is a side
is a side
<u>Now in this case, the utility pole must be perpendicular to the ground and the anchor being parallel to the ground, and a 90° angle formed between them. </u>Conclusively the cable length will be represented by the hypotenuse in a right triangle. So here we have and
. Plugging in Eqn.(1) and solving for
we have:
So we conclude that the minimum length of cable needed by Lamont is
≈43 feet (rounded up).
