One end of a cable is attached to the top of a flagpole and the other end is attached 6 feet away from the base of the pole. If the height of the flagpole is 12 feet, find the length of the cable.

A) 13.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we can use the good old pythagoream thereom for this:

pythag. therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

where a= side length

b=side length

and c= hypotenuse

so

6^2+12^2=c^2

36+144=c^2

180=c^2

sqrt of 180=c

13.416=c

hope this helps
