A weather vane is mounted on top of an 18 ft pole. If a 20 ft guy wire is staked to the ground to keep the pole perpendicular, how far is the stake from the base of the pole a 76 ft b724 c. 38 d. 176 or 2 19 T​

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0

there are no choices to this, can you give us some choices so that i can answer it
