b = 70
\n" ); document.write( "L = h + 14
\n" ); document.write( "h = L - 14
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt( bb + hh ) = L
\n" ); document.write( "bb + hh = LL
\n" ); document.write( "bb + hh = (h + 14)(h + 14)
\n" ); document.write( "4900 + hh = hh + 28h + 196
\n" ); document.write( "4900 = 28h + 196
\n" ); document.write( "28h = 4704
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the wire reaches a height on the pole of: h = 168 ft
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the length of the wire is: L = 182 ft
