The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.
The situation forms a right-angled triangle.
<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
- A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
- The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
- The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.
let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,
tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent
tan ∅ = 5 / 2
∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5
∅ = 68.1985905136
∅ = 68.20°
Therefore,
cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20
hypotenuse = 88.8606843161
Therefore,
length of wire ≈ 89 feet.

Collect like terms
-3w - 7 w =5
Divide both sides by -10
-10w =5
w = -1/2
Answer:
choice. c.) (5, 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(5, 4) and (5, -3)
Use midpoint formula ( (a + x)/2 , (b + y)/2) for (a,b), (x,y)
midpoint = ( (5+5)/2, (4+- 3)/2) = (5, 1/2)
Answer:
x = 14 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
76 = 7x-22, so to figure it out, you first move -22 to the other side and get
76+22 = 7x.
add them together and you get 98 = 7x
7x would be your equation, so divide 98 by 7 and you get your solution
x = 14 is your answer
