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 formula for potential energy is P = mgh. Solve the equation for h.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

P = mgh

P/mg = h

We can divide both sides by mg, since both mass and gravity are being multiplied and not added.

Hope this helps!! :)

In a particular​ year, a total of 40 comma 285 students studied in two of the most popular host countries when traveling abroad.
klasskru [66]

Answer: 2nd most popular country =  15895 students

most popular country = 24390 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students: 40,285

2nd most popular country = x students

most popular country = x + 8,495 students

x + x + 8495 = 40285

2x + 8495 = 40285

2x = 40285 - 8495

2x = 31790

x = 15895

2nd most popular country = x = 15895 students

most popular country = x + 8,495 = 15895 + 8,495 = 24390 students
