A radio station is going to construct a 6- foot antenna tower on the roof of the station building. The tower will be supported by three cables, each attached to the top of the tower and to points on the roof of the building that are 8 feet from the tower. Find the total length of the three cables.
=====
Each cable = sqrt(6^2+8^2) = sqrt(36+64) = 10
---
length of three cables = 30 ft.
