Answer:
length of wire = 116 ft

Explanation:
The attached image shows a diagram on the scenario given.

Now, we can note that the string forms a right-angled triangle with the tower and the ground. This means that special trig functions can be applied.
These functions are as follows:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Now, from the given, we can find that:
θ = 34°
opposite is the tower = 65 ft
hypotenuse is the string length that we want to find

Substitute with the givens in the sin function to get the length of string as follows:
sin (34) = 65 / string
string = 65 / sin(34)
string = 116.2 which is approximately 116 ft

Hope this helps :)

Ma Bernier has 52 cats and dogs in her house the number of cats is three times the number of dogs how many cats and dogs are in
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

dogs - 13

cats - 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs Ma Bernier have be represented with d

She has 3 times as many cats as dogs, the number of cats she has :

cats = 3d

The sum of the cats and dogs is 52

d + 3d = 52

4d = 52

divide both sides of the equation by 4

d = 13

She has 13 dogs

Cats = 3d

= 3 x 13 = 39

You buy a used car for $6500. The monthly cost of owning the car (including insurance, fuel, maintenance, and taxes) averages $3
pashok25 [27]
Y = 350x + 6500

where x = the number of months you own the car and y = the total cost of buying and owning the car.

This is true because each month, it costs 350, so finding the monthly cost would be multiplying 350 by the number of months, or x.  The + 6500 is there because in addition to the monthly cost, the original price was $6500.
