Answer:

a = √93

a ≈ 9.64

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem for this: a² + b² = c²

c is given as the hypotenuse, which is the pole with a length of 17 ft

c² is 17²

b is a leg with a height of 14 ft

b² = 14²

We need to find the base leg, a,  distance from the wall to the base of the pole.

Solve:

a² + 14² = 17²

a² + 196 = 289

a² = 93

a = √93

Answer:

  r = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, solve the equation for r:

  y = rx

  y/x = r . . . . . . . divide by x

__

Since r is a constant, it will be the same for any corresponding pairs of x and y. It is convenient to choose both x and y as integers, as in the third table entry.

  r = y/x = 5/45

  r = 1/9 . . . . . . . . . reduced fraction

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is not a bad idea to check to see that this works with other values of x and y. For the first line of the table, we have x = 11:

  y = rx = (1/9)(11) = 11/9 = 1 2/9 . . . . matches the table value
