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.

Answer:

20 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore the third angle in this triangle

= 180 - (120 + 40)

= 180 - 160

= 20 degrees.

Which graph represents the inverse sine function?
hichkok12 [17]
Answer: A.
The inverse sine function is written as sin−1(x) or arcsin(x). Inverse functions swap x- and y-values, so the range of inverse sine is − π/2 to π/2 and the domain is −1 to 1. When evaluating problems, use identities or start from the inside function.
