Question

50 POINTS

Answer 1

Answer:

Let AB be the height of electric tower and BC be its base.

it forms a right angled triangle

so

base=BC=50ft

hypotenuse =AC=?

perpendicular=AB=200ft

by using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

AC²=200²+50²

AC=√42500

AC=206.15ft

206.15ft is the length of wire.

Answer 2

Answer:

250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you take the tower's height (200) and add the 50 feet away

you get 250 ft.

So: 200+50=250 (this is the quickest way to get it)
