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.

A right rectangular prism has a length of 2 1/2 feet, a width of 3 feet,and a height of 1 1/2 feet. Unit cubes with side lengths
Illusion [34]
The statement "unit cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot are added to fill the prism with no space remaining" is useless information so you can disregard that. All you need to know to calculate the volume is the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (5/2) x 3 x 11/2
Volume = 15/2 x 11/2
Volume = 165/4
Volume = 41.25 ft cubed

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the long leg is 8. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the angles' opposite sides are <em>1-√3-2</em>.

If the long leg is 8, then the short one is 8/√3, or <em>8√3/3</em>.

Therefore, the hypotenuse, which is <em>double the short leg</em>, is 16√3/3.
