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.

Ms.beatly Is trying to get healthy and starts running in the morning.She is able to run 5 miles in 45 minutes how many how many
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

1. 9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If she runs 5 miles in 45 minutes, you have 5 miles = 45 minutes. If you divide both sides of this ratio by 5, you get 1 miles = 9 minutes

2. Find out how many each person sells per week:

Emily: 4 boxes = 2 weeks

divide both sides by 2

2 boxes = 1 week

Jose: 9 boxes = 3 weeks

divide both sides by 3

3 boxes = 1 week

This means that jose sells more, because 3 boxes > 2 boxes

the third term of an arithmetic sequence is 24 and the fifth is 32 if the first term is a1. which is an equation nth term of the
const2013 [10]
An = a1 + (n - 1)(d)
Where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
First find d, the common difference.
24, ____, 32
a3 a4 a5
Subtract 32-24 = 8
Subtract a5 - a3 = 2
Divide 8/2 = 4
d = 4
Use d and one of the values they give us to find a1.
a3 = 24
24 = a1 + (3 - 1)(4)
24 = a1 + 2(4)
24 = a1 + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
16 = a1
an = 16 + (n - 1)(4)
Can also be written
an = 16 + 4n - 4
an = 4n + 12
