A guy wire runs from the top of a cell tower to a metal stake in the ground. Marques places a 11-foot tall pole to support the g

uy wire. After placing the pole, Marques measures the distance from the stake to the pole to be 3 ft. He then measures the distance from the pole to the tower to be 22 ft. Find the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot.

The Pythagorean theorem computed shows that the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot, is 207 ft.

<h3>How to solve the length?</h3>

Here, we have two similar right triangles, ΔABE and ΔCDE.

CD = 11 ft

DE = 2 ft

BD = 35 ft

First, find AB:

AB/11 = (35 + 2)/2

AB/11 = 37/2

Cross multiply

AB = (37 × 11)/2

AB = 203.5 ft

Then, apply Pythagorean Theorem to find AE:

AE = √(AB² + BE²)

AE = √(203.5² + 37²)

AE = 207 ft

Therefore, the length of the guy wire is 207 ft.

Two square rooms have a total floor area of 89m2. One room is 3m longer each way than the other. Find the dimensions of the two
Rudiy27

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller room have an area of x^2

Let the larger room have an area of (x + 3)^2

(x+3) ^2 + x^2 = 89               Be careful not to make it 89^2.

x^2 + 6x + 9 + x^2 = 89        Expand the binomial squared

2x^2 + 6x + 9 - 89 = 0          Subtract 89 from both sides

2x^2 + 6x + 9 - 89 = 0          Combine

2x^2 + 6x - 90=0                  Divide by 2

x^2 + 3x - 45 = 0         This factors.

(x + 9)(x- 5) = 0

X + 9 gives nothing useful

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 5+3 = 8

So the answer is A
