Question 303514: How long would a wire have to be if a tree was 22 feet high and you needed the wire to be attached to the ground 14 feet from the base of the tree (at 90 degree angle)? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is right triangle problem
one leg =22
other leg = 14
22^2+14^2= hyp^2
680 = hyp^2
hyp = 26.07 feet the length of the wire required
