Question

Please answer asap i used all my points for this:(

Cooling towers are used to remove or expel heat from a process. A cooling tower's walls are modeled by x squared over 289 minus quantity y minus 70 end quantity squared over 1600 equals 1 comma where the measurements are in meters. What is the width of the cooling tower at the base of the structure? Round your answer to the nearest whole number
answer choices are 34,62,69, or 80

Answer 1

To find the width of the cooling tower at the base, substitute 'y' with 0 in the given equation and solve for 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given, x^2/289 - (y-70)^2/1600 = 1, represents the walls of the cooling tower. To find the width of the cooling tower at the base, we need to find the value of 'x' when 'y' is equal to 0. Plugging in 'y = 0' into the equation, we get x^2/289 - 70^2/1600 = 1. Solving for 'x' will give us the width of the cooling tower at the base. Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
