Answer:

height = 63  m

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the monument is a triangle. The triangle is a right angle triangle. The triangular monument is sitting on a rectangular pedestal that is 7 m high and 16 m long.  The longest side of the triangular monument is 65 m . The longest side of a right angle triangle is usually the hypotenuse. The adjacent side of the triangle which is the base of the triangle sitting on the rectangular pedestal is 16 m long.

Since the triangle  formed is a right angle triangle, the height of the triangular monument can be gotten using Pythagoras's theorem.

c² = a² + b²

where

c is the hypotenuse side while side a and b is the other sides of the right angle triangle.

65² - 16² = height²

height² = 4225  - 256

height² = 3969

square root both sides

height = √3969

height = 63  m

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=-5x+6 and passes through the point (-4,-1)
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

y=-5x-21

Step-by-step explanation:

So the slope will be the same, rewrite the equation with the same slope and substitute in the coordinates. Then, solve for b.

y=mx+b

-1=-5(-4)+b

-1=20+b Subtract 20 from each side

-21=b

The equation is y=-5x-21

Solve for x.<br> X^2-6x+10=2
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

x = 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out quadratic

x² - 6x + 10 = 2

Step 2: Subtract 2 on both sides

x² - 6x + 8 = 0

Step 3: Factor

(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0

Step 4: Find roots

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x - 2 = 0

x = 2
