Question

Pls I need help urgently please. A 35 foot power line pole is anchored by two wires that are each 37 feet long. How far apart are the wires on the ground?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 ft apart

Explanation:

simple pythagorean theorem; 37^2 - 35^2 = 144

sqrt of 144 = 12

now gotta multiply by two since there are 2 wires

12*2 = 24

so 24 ft apart
