The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.

If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.

Just set up and use the Pythagorean Theorem.

15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c

Korvikt [17]
So each digits can only be selected once.

Let's start counting desired outcome.

Hundred position need to be at least 8. There is only one possible digits. So we will go with 8 and then there are 7 remaining digits.

One position can only be 2,4,6. because we need number to be even. So that's 3 possible digits. We will take one. 6 digits remaining.

Ten position can be anything so that would be 6 possible digits.

So the number of desired outcomes is 3·6 = 18.

Now count all outcomes.

Hundred, ten, and one position can get any digits

So that's 8·7·6 = 336

So the probability would be 18 / 336 = 3 / 56 ≈ 0.0536

Hope this helps.
