Asupport cable connects the top of a bridge tower to the road below. the cable is 245.9 feet long and connects to the road at a point 200.7 feet away from the center of the bridge tower. to the nearest tenth of a foot, how tall is the tower? a.317.4 ft b.142.1 ft c.446.6 ft d.246.3 ft

B. 142.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A support cable connects the top of a bridge tower to the road.

Since, the bridge tower is standing vertical to the the road, therefore, the angle made by it is a right angle.

Therefore, the triangle made by cable(hypotenuse) and bridge tower (Perpendicular) on road (base) must be a right angled triangle.

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem, we have

Hence, the height of the bridge tower = 142.1 ft.

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
