The top of an antenna tower is 125 ft. above level ground. the tower is to be guyed 20 ft. from its top to a point on the ground 80 ft. from the base of the tower· what is the length of the guy wire?

o see what is going on, we simply draw a triangle. Since the tower is 125 feet high, but the guy wire is 20 feet from the top, the triangle is 125 - 20 = 105 feet high, then 80 feet long.

Using the pythagorean theorem, 105^2 + 80^2 = g^2

g^2 = 11025 + 6400 = 17425

g = sqrt(17425)

g = 132.0038 feet = 132 feet

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
