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

It does show a function because it passes the vertical line test (no two points have the same x value).

Find the mean of the data<br><br><br><br> The mean is ___visits to your website.
lorasvet [3.4K]
To find the mean you first add all the numbers up you get each day
12+16+0+8+31+28+17=112
Than you divided it by how many days there are...
112/7=16
So the mean is 16

The solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given system of equations are:

-1x + 2y = -4  -------- eqn 1

4x + 3y = 5 ------- eqn 2

We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method

<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 4</u></em>

4(-1x + 2y = -4)

-4x + 8y = -16  ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Add eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>

4x + 3y = 5

-4x + 8y = -16

( + ) --------------------

0x + 11y = -16 + 5

11y = -11

y = -1

<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>

-1x + 2(-1) = -4

-x -2 = -4

-x = -4 + 2

-x = -2

x = 2

<em><u>Check the answer:</u></em>

Substitute x = 2 and y = -1 in eqn 2

4x + 3y = 5

4(2) + 3(-1) = 5

8 - 3 = 5

5 = 5

Thus the obtained answer is correct

Thus the solution to given system of equations is (x, y) = (2, -1)
