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

A support for a flagpole is attached at a height of 3m and is fixed to the ground at a distance of 1.2m from the base what is the length of the support?
x2 = 1.22+ 32 x2 = 1.44+ 9 x2 = 10.44 x = √10.44 x = 3.23m This is the answer.

A 300 foot support cable needs to be anchored in the ground from a tower is 275 feet high Find the distance along the ground where the cable should be anchored?
The answer is 119.9. All you have to do is use Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. 275 is a, 300 is c, and you solve for b.
