Answer:

135.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS COMPLETE THE QUESTION

flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is 14 feet longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole. Find the length of the wire.

Let X be the length of the wire

Let y be the height of the pole

X= Y + 14

Y= X -14

We can form a right angle triangle form this, where X denote the Hypotenose, Y is the Opposite, and 60feet is the Adjacent.(CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRIANGLE)

Using Pythagoras theorem

X²= 60² + Y²

X² = 3600 + Y²

if we subsitute for Y we have

X² = 3600 + (X -14)²

X² = 3600 +X² -14X-14X+196

X²-X²+ 28X= 3600+196

28X= 3796

X= 3796/28

=135.5ft

hence length of the wire is 135.5ft
