An electrician needs to run a cable from the top of a 56-foot tower to a transmitter box located 42 feet away from the base of the tower. Find how long he should cut the cable.

The boiling point of water at an elevation of 0 feet is 212 degrees fahrenheit (°f). for every 1,000 feet of increase in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases by about 2°f. which of the following represents this relationship if b is the boiling point of water at an elevation of e thousand feet? a) e = 2b - 212 b) b = 2e - 212 c) e = -2b + 212 d) b = -2e + 212

If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other. which set of triangles shows the similar triangles created by the altitude in the diagram?

The given diagram shows the parts of a right triangle with an altitude to the hypotenuse. using the two given  measures, find the other four.
