Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed

The length of the guy wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The ground distance between the guy wire and the pole represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

The height of the pole represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the length of the wire, h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

h² = 6² + 4²

h² = 36 + 16 = 52

h = √52

h = 7.21 meters
