Answer: It is about 23 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.
2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.
3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:
≈

Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation
left part + 0.006 = right part + 0.006
----> 0.1x = 0.08x+0.14
left part -0.08x =right part - 0.08x
----> 0.02x=0.14
x=7
Answer:
- $70
- y = 25 + 0.9x
- $250
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10% of $50 is $5, so the purchases would come to $50 -5 = $45. Added to the $25 membership fee, the total cost for the year would be
$45 +25 = $70
2. The member pays $25 even if no purchases are made. Then any purchases are 100% - 10% = 90% of the marked price. So, the total is ...
y = 25 + 0.90x
3. $25 is 10% of $250, so that is the amount the member would have to purchase to break even on cost.
If you like, you can compare the cost without the membership (x) to the cost with the membership (25+.9x) and see where those costs are equal.
x = 25 +0.9x . . . . . x is the spending level at which there is no advantage
0.1x = 25 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.9x
25/0.1 = x = 250 . . . divide by 0.1
(x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy=73+2*24=73+48=121
⇒ (x+y)^2=121
