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.

The Neolithic Revolution
Amanda [17]

The Neolithic Revolution allowed people to live in permanent settlements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Neolithic Revolution is the phase of transition in which many of the human cultures in the world shifted their lifestyle to permanent settlement and agriculture from hunting and gathering.

This era is also named as First Agricultural Revolution or Neolithic Demographic Transition. The agricultural practices led the cultures to develop the knowledge of domestication of animals and they began to observe and experiment with the plants (to learn or know how they grow and develop).

Neolithic period is named as revolution because this period changed the way of life of most of the communities. This first occurred in so-called "Fertile Crescent" or Mesopotamia (modern Iraq).

A company can manufacture x hundred items for a total cost of C=300+1200x-100x. Find x if the total cost is 3,000
Scilla [17]
C=300+1200x-100x. Find x if the total cost is 3,000
3,000 = 300 + 1200x -100x
3000 = 300 + 1100x
2700 = 1100x
2700÷1100=x
x=27/11
x = 2 5/11 Round to 3

katrin [286]

Answer:

Inverse functions Inverse Functions If f is a one-to-one function with domain A and range B, we can de ne an inverse function f 1 (with domain B ) by the rule f 1(y) = x if and only if f(x) = y: This is a sound de nition of a function, precisely because each value of y in the domain of f 1 has exactly one x in A associated to it by the rule y = f(x).

torisob [31]

Answer:

E(-1,3) F(3,-2) G(6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's just simple addition and subtraction. The x-coordinate would add 2 since it is going to the right, which is positive. The y-coordinate would subtract 3 since going down be negative.
