Answer:

a. 80.83 ft b. 40.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height of pole = 70 ft, L = length of cable and x = distance of cable on ground to pole and Ф = angle between cable and ground.

a) How long is the cable?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and L being the hypotenuse side, by trigonometric ratios,

sinФ = h/L

L = h/sinФ

L = 70 ft/sin60°

L = 70 ft/0.8660

L = 80.83 ft

b) How far from the pole should the cable be attached to the ground?

Since L, h and x form a right-angled triangle with angle Ф and h being the opposite side to Ф and x being the adjacent side, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

x = h/tanФ

x = 70 ft/tan60°

x = 70 ft/1.7321

x = 40.42 ft

How do you the equation of the line that passes through x-intercept (–8, 0) and undefined slope?
kifflom [539]
If the slope is undefined, then your line is a vertical line since vertical lines can have no slope (they don't have any lateral movement). Because it must pass through (- 8, 0), x must = - 8.

Your equation is x = - 8

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4
Rama09 [41]
If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7
