A 34-foot tall utility pole is supported by two wires that are anchored 8feet from the base of the pole. how many feet of wire is needed for the support wires?

70

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is essentially creating two (equivalent) right triangles.

The sides of the triangle are the 34 foot pole and the 8 feet of ground in between the pole and the wire.

Knowing this, we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug in what we know

34^2+8^2=c^2

1156+64=c^2

1220=c^2

The square root of 1220 is approximately 35 feet

So if each triangle uses ~35 feet of wire, then in total there is ~70 feet used

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female
