The cable should be 50 feet.
If you draw the picture, you will see that you have a right triangle.
Let's just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (or cable).
30^2 + 40^2 = c^2
2500 = c^2
50 = c
Answer:
not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity
If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.
longest side = 12 and 12² = 144
7² + 10² = 49 + 100 = 149 ≠ 144
Then triangle is not right
You just need to break it into parts. The first rectangle is the tall one. To find the area of this one, just multiply the tall side by the short side on top.
8 x 2 = 16
The second rectangle is the long one on the bottom. If the whole bottom side is 5 units, then you need to subtract 2 from that.
3 x 1 = 3
16 + 3 = 19 units, so the area of the entire shape would be 19 units^2. Hope this helps! :)

Okay seems like you need to find the numbers that are greater than 51
so it says solution set
x + 16 > 51
plug some numbers
so
45 + 16 > 51
61 > 51
so keep adding numbers to find a solution that is bigger than 51
800÷12=66.6666666667
hope it helps!
btw that my actual answer. it really long.
