Telephone pole breaks and falls as shown. To the nearest foot, what was the original height of the pole? they are 7 ft and 10 ft pls explain how u got the answer and the choices r a.19ft. b.17ft. c.20ft. d.18 ft pls find the answer for me

but its a triangle and in the bottom it has number 10 and in the long side of the triangle is 7

Length of the pole = 12.2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

According to your description, the pole against a wall of height 7ft and the distance between the base of the pole to the wall is 10ft.

See attached document for better illustration.

To solve this problem, we'll have to make use of pythagorean theorem

According to pythagorean theorem,

X² = y² + z²

X = ?

Y = 10ft

Z = 7ft

X² = 10² + 7²

X² = 100 + 49

X² = 149

X = √(149)

X = 12.2ft

The length of the pole is 12.2 ft

Unfortunately, the length of the pole does not corresponds with any of the answers above, but this is actually the right answer.

Good luck

the answer is: the length is 5/6 yards.

give me a or a 5 star rating if this is correct!
