The height of a wooden pole, h, is equal to 20 feet. A taut wire is stretched from a point on the ground to the top of the pole.

kykrilka [37]

ANSWER

D. 25 feet

EXPLANATION

The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.

According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.

Then

${l}^{2} = {h}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = {20}^{2} + {15}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = 400 + 225$

${l}^{2} = 625$

$l= \sqrt{625} = 25ft$
