x2 = 1.22+ 32

x2 = 1.44+ 9

x2 = 10.44

x = √10.44

x = 3.23m

This is the answer.

A rope 32 m long is attached to the top of a flagpole The rope reaches a place on the ground 12 m from the base of the pole How many meters high is the flagpole?

This is your math problem that you are supposed to solve! You are supposed to use the formula, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sums of the squares of the other two sides. What is your hypotenuse? It is the 32 meter long rope. Then the distance from the flagpole to the end of the rope is 12 meters. So if you take the 32 meter hypotenuse and square it. And then you can take the 12 and square it. Then you can subtract the length of the end of the rope out from the flag pole squared from the length of the rope or hypotenuse squared and have the length of the flagpole squared. Now do your math.


Guy wires are used to support a 40 meter flagpole the guy wires are attached to flagpole 8 meters from top and anchored to the ground 10 meters from the base of the flagpole how long is each guy wire?

Approx. 33.5 m To solve you use Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2 , where c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. In this case c will be the length of the guy wire. The length of one leg of the triangle will 10m and the other will be 32m (40m - 8m) So, c2 = (10m)2 + (32m)2 c2 = 100m2 + 1024m2 = 1124m2 c = SQRT (1124m2) or c = 33.53 m


What is a reasonable height for a flagpole?

Zero. In order to maintain stability, it's essential that it remain in contact with the ground.

When is a suspension bridge usually used?

A suspension bridge is usually used when the distance between ground anchor points is too great for a cantilevered bridge to support its own weight, and there is not enough room under the road span for an arched bridge. A large distance between ground anchor points can be for many reasons; because solid ground is too far underwater for a tower, because the ground is not stable enough to support a tower, or sometimes simply for aesthetics.
