The answer is 9, hope this helped <3
Answer:
a = √93
a ≈ 9.64
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem for this: a² + b² = c²
c is given as the hypotenuse, which is the pole with a length of 17 ft
c² is 17²
b is a leg with a height of 14 ft
b² = 14²
We need to find the base leg, a, distance from the wall to the base of the pole.
Solve:
a² + 14² = 17²
a² + 196 = 289
a² = 93
a = √93
