Answer: 20.71 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m
The length of the cable is 23 m
Suppose the distance between them is x
From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m
I think 4.2 x 10^6 is the answer you're looking for.

Answer: Choice A. |w - q|</h3>
Let's say for example that w = 10 and q = 7. This means the distance between these values is w-q = 10-7 = 3. This is the distance between w and q.
Now let's make q larger. If w = 12 and q = 20, then w-q = 12-20 = -8 assuming we subtract in the same order. We use absolute value bars to ensure the result is positive. So instead we say
|w - q| = |12 - 20| = | -8 | = 8
Distance is never negative.
