Question 1077387: A guy wire attached 24 ft. above ground level on a telephone pole provides support for the pole. Describe a procedure you could use to find the length of the guy wire without directly measuring the wire. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A guy wire attached 24 ft. above ground level on a telephone pole provides support for the pole.
Describe a procedure you could use to find the length of the guy wire without directly measuring the wire.
:
Measure the distance from the pole to the point the guy wire is anchored in the ground.
Now you have two legs of a right triangle, 24' and whatever you measured.
The length of the guy wire is the hypotenuse of the this triangle
Use Pythag Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
