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.

The radius of a small ball is around 4.89796 cm. the radius of a basketball is about 2.45 times larger. what is the ratio of the
expeople1 [14]
Formula for surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4pi*r^2.

The same formula, for the case where the radius is 2.45 times greater, comes out to A = 4pi*[2.45r]^2.

Just find the ratio of

4pi*r^2 to 4pi*[2.45r]^2.  It is 1/6.
