Answer:

  34.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...

  a² + b² = c²

  a = √(c² -b²)

  base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598

The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

Find the equation of the line.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y = 0,5 x + (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the graph that when y = -3, the line crosses y axis, therefore

y = ? x + (-3)

We can also spot that when x = 6, y = 0

// now mark ? sign as a variable k and put the given x and y values into the previous expression

y = k * x - 3

0 = k * 6 - 3

k * 6 = 3

k = 3/6

k = 0,5

Cross Multiply
150x=17700
divide both sides by 150
x=118%

118%-100%=18%
