Answer:
34.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...
a² + b² = c²
a = √(c² -b²)
base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598
The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

Answer:</h3>
sin(Y) = 4/5
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The sine of one of a pair of complementary angles is equal to the cosine of the other. Given that ∠X and ∠Y are complementary, sin(Y) = cos(X) = 4/5.
_____
You can figure this from SOH CAH TOA, the mnemonic that reminds you of the definitions of the trig functions. The adjacent leg for one of the acute angles in the right triangle is the opposite leg for the other angle.
... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
... Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Answer:
288
Step-by-step explanation:
when multiplying 2 negative integers, the answer is a positive integer.
-16 × -18 = 288
The slope of the given line is 2.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of 2 or -1/2.
Answer: -1/2
