It is 45 yd from the base of the pole.

The pieces of the right triangle we are given are one of the legs (the height of the pole, 60 yd) and the hypotenuse (the length of the cable, 75 yd).  Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

60²+b²=75²
3600+b²=5625

Subtract 3600 from both sides:
3600+b²-3600=5625-3600
b²=2025

Take the square root of both sides:
√(b²) = √2025
b = 45

How to subtract fractions
frosja888 [35]
You need to first make denominator in the fractions you have equal, then simply subtract numenators.

example:
2/3 - 1/2
first step is to make denominators equal.
for this example, the denominator will be equal to 6 which is 2x3
so, 2/3 = 4/6 and 1/2 = 3/6
so, the expression now becomes:
4/6 - 3/6
simply subtract numenators and the denominator will be 6 as well.
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

another example:
3/4 - 1/2
here the denominator can be equal to 4 in all terms
1/2 = 2/4
so, the new expression is now:
3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4
