Question

A TV station is constructing a 10 foot tower for a new antenna. The tower will be supported by 3 cables, each attached to the top of the tower and to points on the roof of the building that are 12 feet from the base of the tower. Find the total length of the three cables.

Answer 1

\[A) 6\sqrt{31}\]
\[B) 6\sqrt{61}\]
\[C)3\sqrt{122}\]

Answer 2

\[D)2\sqrt{61}\]

Answer 3

@RobertOK

Answer 4

(cable length)^2 = 12^2 + 10^2
= 144 + 100
=244
cable length = sqrt244

so 3 x sqrt244

There you go beautiful :) I hope this helps

Answer 5

So the answer would be C
