A 28-metrelong guy wire is attched to a point 24 m up the side of a tower. How far from the base of the tower is the guy wire attached

Respuesta :

The distance between the guy and the wire attached is 14.42m

Pythagoras theorem

The square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the square of other two sides.

In order to determine the length of base of the tower, we will use the expression below:

b² = 28² - 24²

b² = 208

b = 14.42

Hence the distance between the guy and the wire attached is 14.42m
