Answer:

The wire is approximately 42feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can mentally sketch out the shape that is formed between the guy wire and the antenna tower. This is simply a right-angled triangle with the opposite side being the height of the antenna (30 feet). The adjacent side is the distance on the ground between the point where the wire was fastened and the base of the antenna.

The hypotenuse side is the length of the wire we are looking for.

Parameters are given as:

Opposite : 30ft

Adjacent: 30ft

Hypotenuse: x feet

The hypotenuse = \sqrt{opp^2 + adj^2}

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{30^2+ 30^2} \approx 42ft

One end of a cable is attached to the top of a 60-foot pole. The other end is attached to the ground at a distance of 25 feet fr

This is a simple A^2 + B^2 = C^2 Pythagorean Theorem problem.

So here we go:

Imagine a right triangle with 2 legs and a hypotenuse.
The Pole is the vertical leg. The Cable is the hypotenuse. The distance on the ground between the cable and the pole is the 3rd leg.

We are trying to find the hypotenuse which is C in our Pythagorean Theorem.

Thus:
60^2 + 25^2 = C^2

Add the squares:

3600 + 625 = 4225 = C^2

Now take the square root of both sides:
*Remember that in triangles, we cannot have a negative value for the length. (If it's possible, please contact the Nobel Prize admins).

\sqrt{C^2} = C = \sqrt{4225}  = 65

Thus:

C = Length = 65 ft
