Amber is an engineer designing a suspension bridge. She has a tower at each end of the bridge that will hang four diagonal cables. Her design is shown. Explain the process she should use to determine the lengths of her cables. Use complete sentences.

Answer

she should find the length from where the tower begins to where the cable touches the ground, and use that number to be leg B, with the hight of the tower being constant and being leg A. then she uses the two numbers to find the hypotenuse of the new triangle. Repeat this with the other 3 cables and you have the answer! (Note: leg A's length will remain constant, but leg B's length will not because it is reliant on how far away the cables contact the ground in relation to the tower.)

Hope tis helps :)

he kicked it up? is this the answer ?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
