A guy wire is attached 24 feet above the ground level on a telephone pole that provides support for the pole. Find the length of the wire when it meets the ground ten feet from the base of the pole.

Answer 1

26 ft

I think that's correct, not sure.

Answer 2

h^2 = 24^2 + 10^2 = 676
h = √676 = 26

you should recognize this as a multiple of the basic 5-12-13 right-angled
triangle
