Question 1155111

a wire, pole, and distance from the pole to a point on the ground forming right triangle

so, use Pythagorean theorem: 

a pole have {{{h=14​ft}}} 

distance from the pole to a point on the ground is {{{d=6ft}}} 

a wire length is {{{L}}}


{{{L^2=14^2+6^2}}}

{{{L^2=196+36}}}

{{{L^2=232}}}

{{{L=sqrt(232)}}}

{{{L=15.23ft}}}
