Complete Question
The length of the guy wire supporting a cell tower is 120 m. The guy wire is anchored to the ground at a distance of 80 m from the base of the tower to the nearest hundredth of a meter how tall is the tower?
Answer:
89.44m
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question using the Pythagoras Theorem
This is given as:
Hypotenuse² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²
Hypotenuse = Length of the guy wire = 120m
Adjacent = Distance from the base of the tower = 80m
Opposite = Height of the building = x
Hence:
120² = x² + 80²
Collect like terms
x² = 120² - 80²
x = √120² - 80²
x = √(8000)
x = 89.4427191 m
Approximately the height of the tower is = 89.44m
7:
Parallel lines have the same slope
y = -3x + b
Plug in the x and y values from the point
5 = -3(-4) + b
5 = 12 + b
-7 = b
Answer to 7: y = -3x -7
8:
Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes
y = -2x + b
Plug in x and y from the point
-6 = -2(7) + b
-6 = -14 + b
8 = b
Answer to 8: y = -2x + 8
Answer:
T = 4B + 10C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 4 doughnuts in a bag then there are 4B doughnuts in B bags
Since there are 10 doughnuts in a carton then there are 10C doughnuts in C cartons, thus summing the two quantities gives
T = 4B + 10C
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't see good the picture
My "work" is to enter the equations into a graphing calculator and let it show me the answers--just as your "work" is to copy the question to Brainly.
The solutions are
(x, y) = (-0.5, 7.5)
(x, y) = (3, 25)
_____
When you equate the expressions for y, you get the quadratic
2x² -5x -3 = 0
(2x +1)(x -3) = 0
x = -1/2 or 3
y = 5(x +2) = 15/2 or 25
