Question 1149128: I need help with solving applications using radical equations.
A guy wire on the pole supporting a wind turbine is 30 meters long and is attached to the pole at a height of 25 meters above the ground. How far from the base of the pole will the guy wire be anchored into ground? Found 2 solutions by Boreal, MathTherapy:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw this
The hypotenuse is 30, and 1 leg is 25
so 25^2+x^2=30^2
625+x^2=900
x^2=275
x=16.58 feet
