Use the Pythagorean theorem:
70^2 = 42^2 + width^2
4900 = 1764 + width ^2
Subtract 1764 from both sides
3136 = width^2
Take the square root of both sides
Width = 56 inches

Answer:
9 16-ounce packages
Step-by-step explanation:
144oz. ÷ 16 = 9 Packages
Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
