A guy wire is used to support flagpoles in windy areas. These wires are anchored in the ground to provide constant stability. Yo

u need to replace the guy wire on a pole that is 20 feet tall.. The anchor point for this flagpole is 15 feet away from the base of the pole. a. How long is the wire you need to purchase to replace the old wire? b. You are also helping a friend determine the length of a guy wire for a 10-foot flagpole. The wire needs to be anchored 6 feet from the base of the pole. You can purchase guy wires in whole foot lengths only. Using your knowledge of perfect squares, estimate the length of wire you would need to complete the project. How much wire would be left over?

Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft

b) Length of wire=3.09ft

Leftover wire=0.91ft

Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15

&=53.13°

Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15

15cos31.13

X=9

b) Tan&=10/6

Tan^-110/6

&=59.05

Length= 6cos59.04

X=3.09

4-3.09=.91= leftover wire

In the trapezoid ABCD ( AB ∥ CD ) point M∈ AD , so that AM:MD=3:5. Line l ∥ AB and going trough point M intersects diagonal AC a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

BC:BN=8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.

Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD

But, BC= BN+NC

Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN

⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3

⇒BC:BN=8:3

Which triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated, and why?
HACTEHA [7]
The triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated:

C) (4,2); (8,2); (4,8) because the corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. 

If we plot these points we can observe that they are congruent, we should also solve for the distance of each point between each other to conclude their congruency.

The rectangular playground in tim's school is three times as long as it is wide. the area of the playground is 75 square meters.
qwelly [4]
Let x be the width of the playground, then 3x is the length of the 
<span>playground

х * 3х = 75
3x</span>² = 75
x² = 25
x = 5 m (width)
5*3=15 m (length)

Perimeter = 2(5+15) = 2*20 = 40 meters.

Rewrite in simplest radical form! Show your work.
vazorg [7]

x^{\frac{1}{\frac{-3}{6} }}

First, let's deal with the fraction in the denominator of the exponent. Multiply the top and bottom of the exponent by 6.

x^{\frac{6}{-3} }

Now that the fraction in the denominator is taken care of, we can reduce the denominator.

x^{-2}. Some professors might accept this as simplest form, but others might ask you to get rid of the negative.

x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^{2} }
