The support wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed. Therefore, the length of the support wire is 42.2 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore, the height of the tower where the wire was attached is the opposite side of the triangle formed.

The wire was attached 30 m from the top. Hence, 65m - 30m = 35 m.

Therefore,

sin 56° = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 56° = 35 / x

The hypotenuse is the length of the support wire.

Therefore,

x = 35 / 0.82903757255

x = 42.2195416164

x = 42.2 m

What is the volume of a cylinder with a height of 2 feet and a radius of 6 feet? Use 3.14 for pi. Enter your answer in the box.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

V=226.08\ ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2} h

where

r is the radius of the base of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

we have

r=6\ ft\\h=2\ ft\\\pi=3.14

substitute the given values in the formula

V=(3.14)(6)^{2}(2)\\ V=226.08\ ft^3

Okay the answer is r=47
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span>5+44=2+r
</span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span>5+44=2+r
</span>Simplify:<span>49=r+2
</span>Step 2: Flip the equation.<span>r+2=49
</span>Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.<span><span>r+2−2</span>=49−2</span>r=47
Answer:<span>r=<span>47
Hope this helps!:)</span></span>

.002 is 1/10 of what
amid [387]
Let the unknown number be x.  Then (1/10)x = 0.002.  To solve for x, multiply both sides by 1000 to remove the decimal fraction 0.002.

Then 1000(1/10)x = 1000(0.002), or 100x = 2.  Dividing both sides by x returns 

x=100/2, or x= 50 (answer)
