I used pythagreous (spell check)

anonymous · Answer

the pole is coming off the ground and six feet away on the ground is where the wire touches. assuming pole is correctly installed it is at a 90 degree angle and u can use the theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse

geometry_hater · Answer

so its 6 squared + 12 squared = (The answer)
