Answer:23.64ft of wire

Step-by-step explanation: the length of the cable and he distance on the ground and the height all forms a right angles triangle. With the length if the cable being the hypotenuse . since 2ft of cabkes are remobed,28 ft woukd be left, you can therefore apply the Pythagoras theorem and square of 28 - the square of 15 gives the square of the height at which it should be hung.

I.e 28^2= 15^2+ x^2

x^2= 784-225

x^2= 559

x=√559

x=23.64ft

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width: A = lw. A certain rectangle has an area of x2 + 7x + 12
sukhopar [10]

x^2+7x+12 can be done by factoring as a process of ax^2+bx+c, whereas a is equal to 1.

First, we need to know 2 numbers that multiply to 12 and add to 7. In that case, that would be 6 and 2. And then finally write the variable x in the first parts of the parentheses, that would be: (x+6)(x+2).
