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

On a snowy day 85% of the students of Wilson high school were present. If 572 of the students were present, how many students we
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

673

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so uh this is my way and the answer works so like yea teachers dont show like this but ii figured this works

okay so

85/100 = 572/?

so if you divide 85 by 85 its gonna equal 1 and 1 times 100 is gonna be 100

useing the same concept, it should be the same with 572 , but instead of divideing by 572, divide by 85.

basically 572/85

okay now thats gonna give you 6.72941176471 thats vasically 1% of the population.

so multiply 6.72941176471 * 100

so now you have

672.941176471 and you can round this to 673 kids.

and you know its right since 85% of 673 is 572.05 and you can sound to 572

What is the area of the figure?<br><br> _____ cm^2
lawyer [7]
You can find the area of this figure by finding the area of the square and then the area of the triangle. Once you find these 2 areas then add them together.

For the area of the square:
A= b x h
A = 4 cm x 6 cm
A = 24 cm²

For the area of the triangle:
A = b x h/2
A = 3 cm x 6 cm/2
A = 9 cm²

Total area = 24 cm² + 9cm²
Total area = 33 cm²
