flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is 14 feet longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole. Find the length of the wire.
Let X be the length of the wire
Let y be the height of the pole
X= Y + 14
Y= X -14
We can form a right angle triangle form this, where X denote the Hypotenose, Y is the Opposite, and 60feet is the Adjacent.(CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRIANGLE)
Using Pythagoras theorem
X²= 60² + Y²
X² = 3600 + Y²
if we subsitute for Y we have
X² = 3600 + (X -14)²
X² = 3600 +X² -14X-14X+196
X²-X²+ 28X= 3600+196
28X= 3796
X= 3796/28
=135.5ft
hence length of the wire is 135.5ft
If you have a graphing calculator, you could use it to solve this question.
If you have a TI-84, go to <em>MATH</em> then <em>PROB</em> then <em>3: nPr</em>
From there, all you have to do is type in 7 and 3 in their correct spots to get 210 as your answer.
Let d be distance travelled when they are level , and t = time that nora took to get level with mason
for Nora
6 = d/t
d = 6t
for Mason
5 = d / (t + 35)
d = 5 ( t + 350
so 6t = 5(t + 35)
solve for t
Hi there!
Let's first determine the x-intercept. When dealing with an x-intercept we must realise the y-coordinates equal 0.
Add 21 to both sides.
Divide both sides by -2.
Therefore, the x-intercept is the point (10 1/2; 0).
--------------------------------------
Now let's continue with the y-intercept, which is easier. When dealing with an y-intercept we must realise the x-coordinates equal 0.
Therefore, the y-intercept is the point (0; -21).
