A12-foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. attached to a stake in the ground, the guy wire makes an angle of 51˚ with the ground. how far from the foot of the stop sign is the stake, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

7.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, you can draw a right triangle as the one shown in the figure attached, where x is the distance between the foot of the stop sign and the stake.

2. Then, you can calculate x as following:

Where:

Substitute values and solve for x:

3. To the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance is: 7.6 feet.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3

the answer is 62.8 cubic units
