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

What’s the equation for (8,2)(0,0)
Kay [80]

Answer: y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make use of the slope intercept form to solve this question:

First of all, we have to calculate the slope from the 2 points (8,2) and (0,0).

We know that the formula for the slope is: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

From the question, y2 = 0, y1 =2, x1 =8 and x2 = 0.

Therefore, slope (m) = (0 - 2)/(0 - 8)

This gives us m = 2/8 and simplified further to 1/4.

The slope intercept form of the equation is y = mx + c where "m" is the slope.

Therefore substituting the value of 1/4 for "m" in the equation, we get;

y = (x/4) + c

Now to get the value of "c",let's substitute the value of x and y from the first intercept of (8,2).

We get; 2 = (8/4) + c

; 2 = 2 + c

Subtract 2 from both sides to get c = 0.

Also, when we use the value of x and y from the second intercept (0,0), we get the same value of c=0

Therefore the equation for the 2 points are y = 4x + 0 which gives y=4x

2. Write two numbers that are opposites and each more than 6 units away from 0.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

-7, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposites are basically two numbers that are at different sides of the number line. For example, -2 and 2 are opposites because they are the same distance away from 0 on a number line making them opposites. To make an opposite just take a positive number, and then add a negative to it. (8, -8)

What is the math problem answer?
azamat

To find the mid point add both X coordinates together and divide by 2 and then do the same with the y coordinates.

X coordinate: 4 + -6 = 4-6 = -2 / 2 = -1

Y coordinate: -2 + 3 = 1 / 2 = 1/2


Midpoint: ( -1, 1/2)
