Question

how long is a guy wire reaching from the top of a three foot pole to a point on the ground 2 ft from the pole  what is the exact length

anonymous · Answer

the wire, the pole and the ground form a right triangle. Use $$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$$ to solve, where c = the hypotenuse = length of the wire

anonymous · Answer

$$c^2=2^2+3^2$$

anonymous · Answer

$$c=\sqrt{13}$$

anonymous · Answer

what would the length be approximated to three decimal places

anonymous · Answer

u calculator $$\sqrt{13} \approx 3.605551275$$  u round
