The side of a hill makes a 12° with the horizontal. A wire is to be run from the top of a 175 foot tower on the top of the hill
to a stake 120 ft down the hillside from the base of the tower. What length of wire is needed
1 answer:
Answer:
231.9ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We would be solving this problem by using the cosine rule.
The length = (pq)² + (qr)² -2 * pq * qr * cos102⁰
= 120² + 175² - 2*120*175 (-0.2079)
= 14400 + 30625 + 8731.8
= 53756.8
Length² = 53756.8
We take the square root of both sides
Length = √53756.8
Length = 231.89 feet
This is the length of the wire that is needed.

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute: 2x+6 = 4x-4
subtract 2x from both sides: 6 = 2x-4
add 4 to both sides: 10 = 2x
divide both sides by 2: 5 = x
x = 5
If a square contains 171 tiles you will need multiply 21 by 171 (171x21) which should give you the amount for the entire roof.
Hope this helps! :)
161/4=40.25 so none of those choices match
