Cables are forming 3 right angled triangles the pole being the shared height of them;
(height) b= 12yd
(base) a= 9yd
(hypotenuse) c= ?
Need to find the long side (hypotenuse);
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 9^2 = 225
Take square root of 225 = 15
Then you have;
1x 12yd = 12
3x 9 yd = 27
3x 15yd = 45
Add them up = 84yd of cable needed
Slope = (1-0)/(-2-4) = -1/6
<span>POINT-SLOPE equation
y - 0 = -1/6(x - 4)
hope it helps</span>
Answer:
(-2+4)/2
= 1
(-4-8)/2
= -6
(1,-6) is the midpoint of the line
If you estimate, its around 5
