A telephone pole has a wire attached to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 23 feet less than the height of the pole. If the wire is to be 9 feet longer than the height of the pole, what is the height of the pole?

the answer to your question is c.)   volcanoes built the mountains and earthquakes tore them down.

step-by-step explanation:

write out the polynomial, with leading coefficient 1:

y = 1 (x+2)^1 (x-7)^1 (x-5)^2

next time, share the answer choices.   .

alright so i think for this one it would to draw it out. this may be hard for me to try and draw, but i will do my best on here:

        r

notice how it forms 2 triangles inside one bigger triangle.

so if we know the angle spr is the same as psr that is saying the measure of angle p is the same as angle s. this means the big triangle psr is either isosceles or equilateral. in both cases, the triangle is perfectly symmetrical when split down the middle, which is in this case rq. because we know it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides, we know that the two triangles inside the bigger one are equal.
