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





The axis of symetry, or A.o.S, intersects a parabola at its vertex. The answer is x=1
A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -308
B) y = -308 / x Substituting this into A)
A) x -308 / x = 17
A) x^2 -308 = 17x
A) x^2 -17x -308 = 0
x = 28
y = -11
