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 average speed is the distance divided by the time.
Total distance:
12.8 miles + 17.2 miles = 30 miles
Total time:
noon - 9:00 a.m. = 3 hours
6:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. = 5 hours
Total time = 3 hours + 5 hours = 8 hours
average speed = 30 miles / 8 hours = 3.75 miles per hour
