Complete Question

The length of the guy wire supporting a cell tower is 120 m. The guy wire is anchored to the ground at a distance of 80 m from the base of the tower to the nearest hundredth of a meter how tall is the tower?

Answer:

89.44m

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the Pythagoras Theorem

This is given as:

Hypotenuse² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = Length of the guy wire = 120m

Adjacent = Distance from the base of the tower = 80m

Opposite = Height of the building = x

Hence:

120² = x² + 80²

Collect like terms

x² = 120² - 80²

x = √120² - 80²

x = √(8000)

x = 89.4427191 m

Approximately the height of the tower is = 89.44m

8x+3y=4 <br> -7x+5y=-34 <br><br> Elimination using multiplication
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

x= 2    and y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = 4 ---------------------------------(1)

-7x + 5y = -34 -----------------------------(2)

Multiply through equation (1) by 5 and multiply through equation(2) by 3

40x + 15y = 20 ----------------------------(3)

-21x + 15y =-102----------------------------(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

61x = 122

Divide both-side of the equation by 61

61x/61 = 122/61

(At the left-hand side of the equation 61 will cancel-out 61 leaving us with just x, while at the left-hand side of the equation 122 will be divided by 61)

x = 122/61

x=2

Substitute x= 2 into equation (1)

8x + 3y = 4

8(2) + 3y = 4

16 + 3y = 4

Subtract 16 from both-side of the equation

16-16 + 3y = 4-16

3y = -12

Divide both-side of the equation by 3

3y/3 = -12/3

y = -4

x= 2    and y = -4
