A telephone pole is 24 feet tall. A 26 foot guy wire is used to stabilize the pole. How far from the base of the telephone pole should the end of the guy wire be set?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

the telephone pole be AB

the wire be AC

therefore AB=24

AC=26

By using Pythagora's theorem

(AC)² =(AB)² + (BC)²

(26)² =(24)² + (BC)²

676 = 576 + (BC)²

(BC)²= 676 - 576

(BC)²=100

BC =✓100

BC. =10

Therefore, the base of the telephone pole is set 10m far

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180
