A 34-foot tall utility pole is supported by two wires that are anchored 8feet from the base of the pole. how many feet of wire is needed for the support wires?

70

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is essentially creating two (equivalent) right triangles.

The sides of the triangle are the 34 foot pole and the 8 feet of ground in between the pole and the wire.

Knowing this, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug in what we know

34^2+8^2=c^2

1156+64=c^2

1220=c^2

The square root of 1220 is approximately 35 feet

So if each triangle uses ~35 feet of wire, then in total there is ~70 feet used

the answer is b

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
