D. 25 feet
EXPLANATION
The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.
According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.
Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.
Then
It would be a 12.5% increase. First you find her monthly wages: $10.50 x 160 hours= $1680 a month. Her insurance is $210/month. So you need to find what percentage 210 is of 1680. So 
. Solve for x by dividing 1680 on both sides and you get 0.125. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage and you get 12.5%. Check your answer by multiplying 1680 x 0.125 and you get 210.
