Answer:

16.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so

a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us

10²+(length of pole)² = 19²

19²-10²=(length of pole)²

= 261

square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole

length of pole ≈ 16.2 m

Answer:

-8>x>6

Step-by-step explanation:

I 5x+5I +22> 57subtract 22 on both sides

I5x+5I >35

                                    SPLIT

5x+5>35                                              5x+5< -35 ( flip sign and 35 negative)

5x>30                                                   5x< -40

x>6                                                         x< -8

  Draw a number line Write  zero in the middle

From zero count  to the  left until- 8  make an open circle because- 8  is not included  From -8 draw  an arrow to the left (because x  is less than -8)  

From zero  count to the right until  6  Make an open circle bc 6     is not included.  From 6 draw an arrow to the right   (because x is more than 6)

PART 2 is not already solved?  

If you need to solve fot t

Divide both parts by pr

t= (l/ pr)

Sarah is the president of the drama club and wants to publish a newspaper. Expenses are $.90 for printing and mailing each copy,
larisa86 [58]
Let: x = number of copies sold

We can formulate the following equation to solve for x:

1.50x - 0.9x - 600 = 0

x = 1000

Therefore, the club must sell 1000 copies to break even. Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

What is the value of n in the equation 0.2(n - 6) = 2.8?<br> (1) 8 (3) 20<br> (2) 2 (4) 44
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
So,

0.2(n - 6) = 2.8

Distribute.
0.2n - 1.2 = 2.8

Add 1.2 to both sides.
0.2n = 4

Divide both sides by .2.
n = 20

Check.
0.2(20 - 6) = 2.8

Simplify inside parentheses.
0.2(14) = 2.8

Multiply.
2.8 = 2.8 This checks.

S = {2.8}
