Question 475720: A supporting wire is to be attached to the top of a 39-foot antenna. If the wire must be anchored 39 feet from the base of the antenna, what length of wire is required? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! using Pythagoras theorem
one leg = 39
other leg = 39
so the length of wire = hypotenuse
39^2+39^2=3042 ft
