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.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
h(x) = -5x + 3
h(5) is x = 5
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function]: h(5) = -5(5) + 3
- Multiply: h(5) = -25 + 3
- Add: h(5) = -22
Answer:
(x+1)(x+8) When factoring squares whose squared coefficient is one the roots must add up to the coefficient of the slope and multiply out to the intercept value.
Answer: 20%
Step-by-step explanation: The same number applies here. Think about it this way, let's say you have a friend named Sofia and she has 3 dollars more than you, how many dollars do you have less than Sofia? 3 dollars. That's the easiest way I can explain it.
5/3+2/5=25/15+6/15=31/15=2 1/15
2 1/15 or 31/15
