Question 717423: Two Telephone Poles 22 feet and 29 feet are 70 feet apart, how long is the wire from the top of one pole to the top of the second pole. Wouldnt you account for the fact that one pole is 7 feet taller than the other and use that as leg A and then we know the base is 70 so that would be leg B, then solve for C at 70.35? is that correct?
