Apiece of wire measuring 20 feet is attached to a telephone pole as a guy wire. the distance along the ground from the bottom of the pole to the end of the wire is 4 feet greater than the height where the wire is attached to the pole how far up the pole does the guy wire reach? show all work

Height at which the wire is attached to the pole is 12 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of the wire = 20 feet

Let the height at which wire is attached to the pole be h

and distance along the ground from the bottom of the pole to the end of the wire be x+4

Now, it forms  a right angle triangle so, we can apply "Pythagorus theorem".

But height cant be negative so, height will be 12 feet.

Hence, height at which the wire is attached to the pole is 12 feet.
