You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem. 
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:

A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.

3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.

Which products result in a difference of squares? Check all that apply.(x – y)(y – x)(6 – y)(6 – y)(3 + xz)(–3 + xz)(y2 – xy)(y2
nikitadnepr [17]

1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)

2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)

3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)

Explanation

The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).

(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)

                           = (xz + 3)(xz - 3)

                          = x²y²-3xy+3xy-9

                          =x²y² - 3²

(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²

                          = y⁴ - x²y²

(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)

                                      = 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴

                                      = 4096y⁴ - x⁴

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to subtract the prices of the medium and large from the total

Small = 46.24 - medium -  large

17.50 + 15.75 = 33.75

S = 46.24 - 33.75

S = 12.99
