Algebra.Com's Answer #32684 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need to find the lenght of a hypotenuse (the rope). A flagpole is 45' high. A guy wire is tied from the top to make a 45 degree angle w/the ground. what is the length of the rope? so i know i have 90, 45 & 45 for my angles, & the height is 45'....CORRECT.IN A TRIANGLE IF 2 ANGLES ARE SAME THEIR OPPOSITE SIDES ARE ALSO EQUAL \n" ); document.write( "HENCE THE 2 SIDES ARE EQUAL TO 45'. \n" ); document.write( "HYPOTENUSE^2=SIDE^2+SIDE^2=45^2+45^2=2025+2025=4050 \n" ); document.write( "HYPOTENUSE=SQRT(4050)=63.64\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " HELP!!
