Answer:The correct answer is:

90 feet.

Explanation:

Each wire forms a right triangle with the tree and the ground. The height from the ground to the point on the tree the wire is attached to, 3 feet, is one leg. The length from the tree to where the wire is staked in the ground, 4 feet, is the other leg.

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse: 3²+4²=c²; 9+16=c²; 25=c²; √25=√(c²); 5=c

This means each wire will be 5 feet long. There are 3 wires per tree, which gives us 5*3 = 15 feet. There are 6 tree, so this is 15*6 = 90 feet of wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the missing variable for a triangle: a=48in2
Galina-37 [17]
Assuming that the given triangle is a right triangle where height and base are equal, we can solve for the missing variables. Let us review the given problem, the given is the total area since unit of "a" is inch squared. 

The formula for an area of a triangle is At = 1/2(bxh). We substitute the given value and assume that h=b.

Therefore, 48=1/2bh. To eliminate 1/2, we multiply both sides by 2. Then we have 96=bh. When b=h, we have b^2=96.

The missing variables are b=h=9.8.

How do you represent selling 6 copies as an integer? How do you represent receiving 24 books as an integer?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

How do you represent selling 6 copies as an integer? With -6

How do you represent receiving 24 books as an integer? With 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The important thing to state here is what is the thing that you are counting.

If you count the number of copies/books that you have, then:

Selling 6 copies means that you have 6 copies less than before, then you would represent this with a -6.

"-6 copies"

And receiving 24 books means that you have 24 books more than before, then you will represent this with a +24.

"24 books"

(You do not need to write the "+" sign, it is implicit if you don't write any sign)

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x 2?
Shalnov [3]
Assuming the function is x^2

let y = x^2
interchange x and y
x = y^2
y = sqrt x

so,
sqrt x is the inverse of x^2.
